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 these views and give your own opinion.

The contemporary world is confronting various environmental problems. Some people may claim that the

loss

of creature

species

on

Earth

should be considered the most crucial while others assume there are more important problems. In my opinion, there is a more detrimental issue on

Earth

. To commence with, the most important environmental problem should be Global warming since it is the root of all others. Global warming increases the average temperature on

Earth

which cause forest fires and ice melting.

Thus

damaging the habitats of a vast amount of

creatures

including vulnerable ones.

In addition

, the melting of icebergs in Polar areas raises the sea level on

Earth

. If

this

continues, most humans in the future will not be able to live on land.

Therefore

, Global warming is an alerting environmental issue since it damages all

creatures

including human beings. Other people may claim that the

loss

of particular

species

of plants and animals is more dangerous. They argue that the

loss

of any creature would cause an impact on biodiversity that ruins the whole

Earth

's equilibrium state.

For example

, the extinction of mosquitoes leads to a shortage of food for their predators, including reptiles and several types of bugs. Eventually, the decline of those predators is inevitable,

thus

destroying the food chain. In short, the

loss

of

species

, in theory at least, breaks nature's balance and drives

creatures

to the verge of starving.

however

,

this

argument is dubious. The

loss

of

creatures

is not spontaneous as it must be triggered by certain causes. Global warming is the main cause of

this

happening. If there were no natural occurrences like forest fires and ice melting, many

creatures

would survive,

thus

no food chain would be damaged. In short, Global warming is an alerting environmental problem that leads to other inadequacies. To conclude, the

loss

of particular

species

on

Earth

is far less urgent than Global warming. People need to determine the main root of all causes that wreak havoc on the environment and promote proper treatments for them.
