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.

Environmental
problems
are of the greatest importance issues of nations and societies these days. Some people believe that the extinction of species of
animals
and
plants
is a very significant problem, while others consider different
problems
more important. In my opinion,
although
species keeping safe is necessary, some other issues
such
as climate change should be considered more important than other
problems
.
To begin
, animal and plant maintenance is essential in order to many important roles that they play in human life.
Animals
have the main position in the human food chain by providing dairy and meat.
In addition
, forests and
plants
are a huge source of food, oxygen, raw materials, and other vital things for humanity. Without forests, humans cannot continue their life, due to the lack of oxygen produced by trees.
Moreover
, they play important role in the reduction of carbon and maintaining soil and water safe and clean.
For example
, trees prevent soil erosion and help the soil to attract water pouring during the rain.
On the other hand
, other people think that there are other more significant
problems
including huge changes in weather and atmospheric conditions. Nowadays, fumes and emissions released from cars and factories cause a dangerous phenomenon called the greenhouse effect, which has irreparable consequences on human life.
For instance
,
increasing

in average atmosphere temperature, that affected by
this
phenomenon, causes polar ice mountains
to begin
to melt, followed by increasing in sea levels and destroying a lot of cities. Actually, climate change not only can cause human extinction due to making dangerous effects on the environment but
also
can extinct
animals
and
plants
. In conclusion, whereas maintaining
plants
and
animals
is a very essential duty of humans, I think, we should concentrate on our activities against to environment, which would keep safe humans and species, as well.
