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.

Whether in developed or developing
countries
, the government focuses on environmental issues and has built at least one national park to protect rare and precious
species
of flora and fauna.
This
leads one to wonder whether the disappearance of particular
species
is an environmental priority.
However
, I disagree with that for the following reasons.
Climate
change
is the
first
reason for
people
to reflect on natural agents that have a heavy impact on the
environment
. A series of melting ice events at the two polar bridges and global warming will continuously take place due to the direct effect of
climate
change
.
For example
, floods will appear with a dense frequency in the
countries
near the southern and northern ends, and
people
can suffer material and spiritual losses.
Therefore
, we have to take positive actions and methods to handle the negative situations of
climate
change
in order to enhance a better life. Fauna and Florists claimed that the lack of specific
species
would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. When a
species
in the wild goes extinct, it could simply destroy certain
food
chains in the wild.
For example
, the Pyrenean ibex belongs to the wild goats family in the
food
chain consisting of plants - goats - tigers - microorganisms, so the extinction of the Pyrenean ibex
species
led to an increase in vegetation density and a decrease in the amount of the tiger
food
in its
food
chain.
Therefore
, it can be argued that the loss of plant and animal
species
is a top priority factor in environmental problems, as evidenced by the construction of national parks.
However
, the importance of ecological balance is not convincing enough to be the most concern of the
environment
. In recent years,
people
's health has been seriously damaged when faced with countless smoke and dust pollution caused by
people
's daily activities or unexpected incidents that cause severe harm to the
environment
.
For example
, mass forest fires occurred in Indonesia, Australia, and other unfortunate
countries
, which released tons of exhaust fumes into the living world. At that time, citizens in those
countries
or

countries
went out to the streets; they would have to endure the covering of polluted black dust and not be able to see anything in front of them even though it was daytime.
Therefore
, we should establish disciplined and orderly lifestyles that do not destroy the
environment
and indirectly harm our health. To sum up, the main environmental problems for the survival of humanity are those that come from
climate
change
and environmental pollution as they lead to a host of other consequences.
Besides
, the disappearance of some specific
species
also
contributes to the difficulties of the
environment
.
Therefore
, it is not possible to underestimate any factor that negatively affects the
environment
, each agent must be properly divided by the government to fully solve environmental problems to bring a good life for the citizen.
