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 views and give your own opinion with relevant examples.

In recent times, man is being faced with a lot of environmental issues. While a number of individuals agree that the extinction of specific types of flora and faunae is the main culprit, others believe that there are other numerous environmental challenges. In my opinion, the disappearance of plants and animals is the key factor. The disappearance of crops and animal species has malted some environmental hazards. Plants maintain the atmosphere. They produce oxygen and absorb carbon mono oxide during photosynthesis, and oxygen is essential for the survival of all aerobic organisms. It

also

keeps the Ozone Layers that help protect life from damaging ultraviolet radiation. Removal of carbon mono oxide from the atmosphere reduces greenhouse gases and global warming.

In addition

, faunae play vital roles in the formation and maintenance of the ecosystem they live in.

For instance

, one ecological role is to act as consumers, which is a major component of the community dynamics and energy flow of the surrounding. In my view, oil spillage is a menace in society. These days, there has been an increasing rate of oil spills from industries, either from vandalization or the use of cheap pipes that these chemicals pass through.

This

has resulted in contamination of water bodies, leading to loss of aquatic life and water scarcity for public use. Another cause is noise pollution from heavy locomotives and construction sites. Most houses are close to roads and are without insulators.

This

allows disturbance of the peace and sleep of the occupants. In conclusion, oil leakage and noise pollution have a negative effect.

However

, I think, the vanishing of crops and animals is more impactful on our ecosystem.
