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 opinion.

In

this

contemporary epoch, a section of society believes that the vanished species of some specific flora and fauna are the major reason behind some environmental issues of

this

time, while others opine that there are many noticeable factors, which are responsible for

this

issue.

This

essay agrees with the latter view because nowadays, the atmosphere is mostly affected by some human activities

such

as air

and various chemicals and plastic waste enhance

. To commence with, some thought that animals and plants vanish and just because of that, the

chain is disturbed. The

food

chain is the most important part of the environment. To say it, all creatures have their own importance in the

unavailability of

.

For example

, if earthworms lose from

land

, the fertility of

land

decreases, because earthworms are one of the major reasons behind the fertilization of

land

.

This

creates

land

pollution

.

On the other hand

, people think that there are more factors, which affect the environment

such

as cutting trees for the modernization of cities, increasing the number of

vehicles

, and some plastic waste and chemicals being thrown into

water

bodies.

In other words

, in today’s time, more forest areas and trees are cut-down for building more residential and commercial buildings and most of the

water

bodies are polluted because of releasing some toxic matter by factories.

For instance

, a survey conducted by ‘the Aaj Tak’ in Delhi that 80% of the total environmental issues are just because of an increasing number of

vehicles

. In conclusion,

although

the vanishing number of some flora and fauna are responsible for environmental problems, releasing toxic matter into

water

bodies, releasing smoke from

vehicles

and decreasing the area of forest are the main environmental issues.
