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.

Humans

are facing more environmental

issues

than ever before, and one of these

issues

is the

loss

of certain

species

of animals and plants.

Although

some people believe that

this

is the main environmental

problem

nowadays, others believe that there are more pressing problems, which will be discussed in

this

essay.

To begin

, it is true that the

loss

of particular animal and plant

species

is a major

problem

for various reasons.

Firstly

, it disrupts the ecosystem. The world we live in is meticulously organized,

hence

every creature, whether it is an animal or a plant or even a little organism, is crucial to its balance. If certain animals get extinct,

for instance

, flies and fleas will be everywhere and we will live in unsanitary conditions.

Secondly

, those who believe that

this

is an important issue argue that every creature deserves a right to exist. They believe that Earth is made for all

species

, not just

humans

,

thus

we should learn to co-exist with animals

instead

of leaving them to die out. Granted, the

loss

of certain

species

is an important matter;

however

,

humans

are currently facing more vital

issues

that threaten their existence. The main

problem

which needs our collective attention is climate change.

This

threatens mankind's survival as well as the survival of the whole planet along with its

species

.

This

is why it is a pressing matter, one that requires all our best efforts to bring it to a halt. Another issue is air pollution, a result of gas emissions from cars and factories.

This

problem

does not only contribute to climate change but

also

jeopardizes our health. To illustrate, many children get asthma at a very young age because of the rising levels of air pollution. In conclusion, despite the importance of the

loss

of particular

species

, as it disrupts the eco-system and because all

species

have a right to exist,

humans

have more crucial

issues

to worry about,

such

as climate change and air pollution.
