Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals.Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion

The impact of environmental challenges has been a hotly-debated topic.Some individuals argue that the core challenge in the modern era is the disappearance of specific
plants
and
animals
,whereas others say that there are more to it than meet the eye.In my view,environmental
impacts
are enormous and have affected the way of life. Individuals have different opinions on the problem of the environment.Some say that the major challenge has been the loss of some
plants
and
animals
.

nowadays and lack of planting trees, as seen in the many areas.if the
plants
are cut for various reasons
then
many of the species are lost.
For instance
,the cutting of trees for the purpose of firewood.
Moreover
,
animals
are
also
lost owing to the illegal trade in the black market,after hunting the wild
animals
for personal individual gains their numbers start declining.
For example
,Kenya Wildlife reported an 80% decline in the number of elephants in the country.
Thus
,human activities have contributed to the highest loss of biodiversity not only in
plants
but
also
in
animals
.
On the other hand
,many negative environmental
impacts
still exist,since there are direct
impacts
that contribute to the challenges.
Firstly
,the development of industries has led to the increase in pollution to the surroundings
thus
creating more challenges for both living and non-living organisms as seen in the bio-degradation of important features within our habitat.Another problem is the disposal of e-waste,before it was not a major issue but ,

it has sprouted has as a thorn in the flesh.To illustrate
this
many people are using electronic materials and are not able to dispose of them well
thus
leading to the accumulation of waste products.
Therefore
,pollution and electronic waste accumulation have added fuel to the already straining habitat. To sum up,
although
the modern world has seen a great decline in
plants
and animal species.I still believe that there are more negative
impacts
that still exist like environmental pollution from industries and
also
poor disposal of electronic wastes.
