In many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining. Why do you think this is happening? How can this issue be solved?

It is common knowledge that in many countries there is a dramatic decline in animal and plant numbers.

Although

there are undoubtedly various reasons for

this

trend, societies can take steps to mitigate them. Part of the explanation for animals’ extinction lies in poaching, rapidly gaining popularity. With a lack of strong regulations and fines, people continue earning money by killing many endangered species

and selling their most valuable parts on a market. Even more important is deforestation, destroying not only the trees and plants themselves but

also

the natural animals’ habitats. Unable to gain the wood with any other methods, humanity is forced to cut hectares of forests to later make paper, furniture and various materials for construction, not caring about the fact of killing innocent animals in the process. There are several actions that governments could take to solve the problems described above. To start with, there should be stricter regulations and more serious fines in terms of poaching, even making it illegal in some areas which are homes for many endangered species. As for deforestation, it is my conviction that after each deforestation companies responsible for that should invest in forest restoration. Planting trees will restore not only the flora but

also

the fauna living there.

Besides

, before cutting down the trees all animals under the threat of extinction should be caught and preserved in the nature reserves. Taking everything into consideration, various measures, like stricter fines for poachers, forest restoration and preserving endangered species, should be taken to tackle the issue of animal and plant numbers plunge.
