Some people say that too much attention and too many resources are given in the protection of wild animals and birds. Do you agree or disagree about this opinion?

For centuries, deforestation, farming, urbanisation and other human activities have wreaked havoc on wild animal species and sent them to the verge of extinction. Regarding wildlife protection, awareness has been raised and attempts have been made.

However

, some hold the idea that the protection of endangered species has been given an inordinate amount of attention and resources. Personally, I do not see eye to eye with

this

point of view. In the first place, wildlife protection has never taken centre stage in the media. Compared with celebrities,

for example

, the amount of coverage of wild

animals

is infinitesimal. Clearly, the reason is profits.

In other words

, programs featuring wild

animals

do not generate the interest of the public and

accordingly

returns for the producers. The absence of educational programs concerning the lives of wild

animals

has blinded people to the reality that wild

animals

are dying and the ecological system is being disrupted severely.

In addition

, governments around the world do not prioritise wildlife conservation in their agendas. As a matter of fact, laws to save wild

animals

have been introduced, but they are loosely enforced. Because of

this

, every man can freely exploit land, chop down forests, and divert water sources, all of which combine to destroy the natural habitats of threatened

animals

. In every corner of the world, with or without intention, humans are still causing changes in climatic and geographical conditions, which accelerates animal extinction. In light of

this

fact, I feel that not enough attention and resources are being given to the conservation of wild flora and fauna and stronger actions need to be taken to save them.
