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.

Many people think that the biggest problem in our habitat is related to the disappearance of some species from the flora and fauna.
However
, others believe that there are more essential troubles in
this

For example
, today's elephants are the improved version of their ancestors: the mammals with certain changes that made them fit into our modern world. So, I do believe that

is the proper way of evolution.
