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 probles. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In the contemporary epoch, the environmental problem has been a major worry for folks as it calls for concerted efforts in order to reduce the crisis we face in our

environment

today. In view of

this

, there is an ongoing discussion that discusses

plants

and

animals

, some people say the environmental crisis is a result of the

loss

of

plants

and

animals

while others say there are more trivial

issues

.

This

essay would take an exhaustive look at the said points in the paragraphs below while I conclude with my own opinion.

To begin

with, the

loss

of particular

plants

and

animals

is the cause of some

issues

we face in our

environment

.

This

is because they have impacts they made during the cause of their existence and since they went extinct, no other specie can cover the missing space.

For example

, the dragons are said to be myths but they made several impacts on planet earth and since their ,extinction no other animal can fulfil their obligations. Invariably, the

loss

of

animals

and

plants

has contributed to environmental matters arising.

On the other hand

, there are other

problems

caused by man and other species which have awakened

issues

in our

environment

. Going forward, the amount of research, exploration, scientific tests and several other things carried out on planet earth is another deficiency we are facing.

For instance

, pollution caused by oil and gas companies while they refine their crude has led to water and air pollution causing severe

problems

in several parts of the world. A very good example of

this

is the southern part of Nigeria, many of these ongoing

problems

have affected the

environment

causing deaths of fish and other living things. Undoubtedly, there are many

issues

in the

environment

caused by man which is very important. In a nutshell, environmental

problems

are caused by the

loss

of several species

such

as

plants

and

animals

and they are other

problems

that are man-made too.

Conversely

, the

problems

are not one-sided as "it is a two-way street", the

loss

of species has emanated from some of them as well as other important

issues

that are man-made.
