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.

In

this

day and age, environmental problems have become a major concern. Some people believe that the extinction of some

species

of

plants

and

animals

is the biggest issue. Some others, including me, claim that there are other vital environmental issues we are facing.

Such

as global warming. The

loss

of particular

species

of

plants

and

animals

, on the one hand, can have significant consequences for ecosystems, other

species

, and even human societies.

First,

this

can cause biodiversity

loss

because each

species

plays a unique role in an ecosystem, and the

loss

of single

species

can disrupt the entire ecosystem.

For example

, when predator

animals

like tigers and lions become extinct, it may lead to an increase in the number of other

animals

, which used to prey on,

such

as deer and giraffes.

As a result

, those prey

animals

can destroy agricultural crops or carry some diseases.

Nonetheless

,

this

issue is not a major problem, as it can be caused

due to

global warming. If we can tackle global warming, it is likely to minimize the extinction of some

species

of

plants

and

animals

.

On the other hand

, nowadays, global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods, which is caused by human activities,

such

as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and transportation.

This

is not only harmful to human health but

also

can be considered a main reason for the

loss

of particular

plants

and

animals

. Because

this

causes extreme weather events, like heat waves, droughts, and hurricanes, which make it difficult for some

species

to survive. In conclusion, I believe that

while

dying out some particular

plants

and

animals

can affect negatively our planet, it is not the major problem, because global warming can be more harmful to humans and
