Some people say that 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.

There has been a conflicting view related to the effect of environmental
problems
.
While
some
people
claim that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular animal and plant species, I believe there are more important ecological
problems
because they can potentially harm
people
. On the one hand, the effect of environmental
problems
tends to destroy the population of some animals and
plants
.
For example
, since the number of forests in Sumatra Province has decreased over a decade, many
people
claim that they are now difficult to find the Sumatra tiger.
This
is because sumatera tigers can not feed on any food in the forest, so they can not maintain their existence.
Similarly
, the population of some
plants
can be lost
due to
the lack of water from the forest.
However
, the environmental damage is not only the destructive forest but
also
the other, which may be far more dangerous for all life creatures,
such
as global warming. Global warming
also
causes some health
problems
for humans.
On the other hand
, environmental damage,
such
as air pollution, can probably damage
people
's health.
For instance
, Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, is facing a huge problem with air pollution caused by the gas emission from vehicles.
As a result
, many of Jakarta's
people
have health
problems
,
such
as pneumonia, flu, etc. Their life may be dangerous if
this
situation gets worse. I believe that environmental
problems
impact not only hugely on the particular species of
plants
and animals but
also
human life. In conclusion,
while
the environmental problem causes the loss of particular species of
plants
and animals, I believe there are more important environmental
problems
,
such
as it can potentially harm
people
.
