Many people feel it is a waste of money to try to save endangered animal species, for example the tiger or the blue whale. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

An opinion held by many is that it is financially unreasonable to protect
animals
that are on the brink of extinction,
such
as the tiger or the blue whale. I disagree with
this
statement and think it is important to preserve our biological diversity regardless of its origins. We as a

Additionally

For instance
, the extinction of the biggest mammal the blue whale would make it impossible to understand how they live in

underwater depths with their enormous mass, limiting the potential breakthroughs in science and most notably biology.
To sum up
, we are responsible for the future of the

that are almost extinct, because our

took their homes and hunted them down mercilessly. By allowing them to perish humanity would lose precious information about these creatures that have evolved along us for billions of years.
