The large amount of time and money that is spent on conserving wildlife would be better spent on improving the lives of humans. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, a debate regarding

wildlife

conservation

has emerged.

In particular

, some people argue that the funds allocated for these kinds of projects would be more necessary to improve the human condition. I think that

this

is not true and that as humankind we are obliged to preserve nature. In

this

essay, a brief explanation regarding the matter will be given. It is undoubtedly true that it could be beneficial to spend more money on improving human lives. In fact, there is a constant need for funds in humanitarian projects, and every penny is important.

For instance

, the UN calculated that with an expenditure of 30 billion per year, the hunger problem would be resolved.

As a result

, it seems reasonable to affirm that the billions spent on

conservation

could be spent in other manners.

Furthermore

, many people simply do not see any advantage in nature-related expenses.

On the other hand

, the

conservation

of

wildlife

is far more important than what the population think.

Firstly

, preserving natural habitats is fundamental for humanity, because changes in some important zones of the planet can have consequences on a worldwide level.

For example

, the pluvial forests constantly exchange carbon dioxide with oxygen, and

for

this

reason, they are called the "Earth's Lungs", and without their

wildlife

, they would not exist. Given

this

, it is difficult to say that money spent on preservation could be better used.

Moreover

, since it is human activity which is disrupting their habitats and putting animals and plants on the verge of extinction, is human's responsibility to ensure that a negative scenario does not happen. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with those who say that

wildlife

conservation

is a waste of money. As stated above, if

wildlife

safety is ensured, our own safety is, and with our activity

that is

more and more putting in danger the planet, we are morally obliged to find remedies to our mistakes. For all these reasons, under no circumstances

conservation

activities should be labelled as useless.
