Whilst many people believe that the problem with the
environment
is
due to
species
of
plants
and
animals
getting extinct
while
others believe that there are much more extraordinary environmental
problems
. I agree with the latter opinion that there are bigger
problems
which need to be solved in order to preserve the
environment
. Environmental issues are the biggest threat to humankind
nevertheless
, the destruction has already happened and many
species
have suffered
due to
it.
This
has created a disbalance in the ecosystem as most
animals
and
plants
could not thrive in that
environment
,
this
initially
led to the starving of some exotic
animals
which are now extinct and probably future generations will read about it in history books.
For instance
, A particular breed of tortoise which has walked
this
planet Earth for more than 500 years has been confirmed by some scientists that they are on the verge of extinction and soon it will be followed by other
animals
because they are unable to sustain themselves in the present ecosystem.
Thus
, most individuals are seeking help to preserve
species
of
plants
and
animals
and are considering that
this
is the main problem.
Although

according to
other individuals is the pollution of different types which is been transmitted to the human body and leads to unknown health
problems
.
Furthermore

Additionally
, people
also
think that
this
will create even bigger detrimental
problems
which could even lead to humankind's extinction if not controlled correctly.
Therefore
, others believe in the preservation of what is been left and consider
this
a vital issue.
To conclude
, Some individuals think that
species
of
plants
and
animals
getting extinct are the main
problems
to the
environment
whereas
, I believe that there are other crucial issues which are still pending address and will have major impacts on the
environment
.
