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.

Nowadays, whilst many individuals argue that the most significant environmental problem is losing particular species of

plants

and

animals

, others believe that some other problems are more important, and I agree with the latter opinion. On the one hand, the extinction of special types of

plants

and

animals

is a great concern.

Firstly

, the loss of these creatures will harm the food chain.

In other words

, other

animals

will either grow or decline in numbers.

For example

, once in European countries, it was thought that cats were evil,

phenomenon resulted in one of the worst disasters in the 14th century, which was the spread of the plague.

Secondly

, the existence of trees and

plants

on the ground prevents floods, and losing these

plants

causes more damage to that place. When trees are planted in an area, they will absorb the

water

of rainfall and contain it within their roots. If these

plants

no longer exist, the

water

will flow into the ground, which results in a flood.

On the other hand

, other environmental difficulties are of more significance, like global warming and

water

pollution. The greenhouse effect causes climate change, and

For instance

, an area that has humid weather and receives sufficient rainfall on average is likely to become dry.

This

will ruin the vegetation and

animals

living there, and

people

will not have anything to eat.

Additionally

,

water

pollution accounts for many environmental troubles, like the extinction of fish and aquatic creatures.

This

will have a direct impact on millions of

people

worldwide living near seas, oceans, or rivers. Because one of the most important sources of their economy relies on that, like earning money by selling fish. I strongly believe that these issues are the major problems and need to be tackled. In conclusion, despite the notion of some

people

who think the disappearance of particular categories of

plants

and

animals

is the greatest concern, I am of the opinion that other phenomena like

water

pollution and the greenhouse effect are the top priority.
