In recent decades, many animal and plant species have disappeared.
Thus
Linking Words
, it is often argued by some people that the extinction of certain flora and fauna is the major environmental issue, whilst others believe that various problems like global warming and pollution are more alarming. In my opinion, the latter concern has a more drastic impact and it should be prioritized for the sustainability of our globe.
