Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people argue that it is pointless to spend money on the protection of wild
animals
because we humans have no need for them. I completely disagree with
this
point of view. In my opinion, it is absurd to argue that wild
animals
have no place in the 21st century. I do not believe that

planet

Earth exists only for the benefit of humans, and there is nothing special about
this
particular century that means that we suddenly have the right to allow or encourage the extinction of any species.
Furthermore
, there is no compelling reason why we should let
animals
die out. We do not need to exploit or destroy every
last
square metre of land in order to feed or accommodate the world's population. There is plenty of room for us to exist side by side with wild
animals
, and
this
should be our aim. I
also
disagree with the idea that protecting
animals
is a waste of resources. It is usually the protection of natural habitats that ensures the survival of wild
animals
, and most scientists agree that these habitats are
also
crucial for human survival.
For example
, rainforests produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and stabilise the Earth's climate. If we destroyed these areas, the costs of managing the resulting changes to our planet would far outweigh the costs of conservation. By protecting wild
animals
and their habitats, we maintain the natural balance of all life on Earth. In conclusion, we have no right to decide whether or not wild
animals
should exist, and I believe that we should do everything we can to protect them.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
