Some people say that a large amount of money and time is spent on the protection of wild animals, when it would be better spent on human population. To what extent do you agree with it?

In

this

day and age, an increasing number of animals have become endangered, so some claim that a considerable amount of

money

should not be invested in wildlife protection, and investment could bring more benefits when allocated to the human population. I am in line with

this

suggestion. It is indisputable that protecting those endangered species is of overriding importance, as those animals are valuable to both the environment and humanity. Some wild animals play a crucial niche in maintaining ecological equilibrium, and removing them could destroy the local environment swiftly.

For example

, being the predator on the Tibet Plateau, once the volume of snow leopards experiences a dramatic decline, the number of their prey(不可数) like Tibetan antelope will augment, and

this

decrease ultimately poses an irreversible threat to the local vegetation and

thus

the whole ecosystem.

Consequently

, the biodiversity of the globe will be negatively affected, and indigenous communities will face great challenges to stay in their previous lifestyles, which

also

threatens cultural diversity.

However

, though it is indisputable that the government should allocate funds to wild animal protection and actions like setting up preserves must be done, on no account can a country spend much

money

and time in

this

area and there are more vital aspects for a country’s development.

For instance

, governments should make more efforts in technological research to develop some eco-friendly resources like solar energy and optimize them to be more reliable and suitable to use in daily life. In

this

way, not only can the quality of citizens’ lives be improved, but less carbon dioxide will

also

be emitted and

thus

global warming will be curbed which could

also

protect those endangered species. In a nutshell, I put forward that governments should not spend a great deal of

money

and time in

this

area, as more benefits could be generated by investing that

money

in technology and humans. I suggest that they endeavour to elevate the conservation awareness of local people and increase their standards of life, which is a radical solution to protecting wild species.
