Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems.

At the current time, there are several environmental

issues

which pose a threat to the

ecosystem

. Some argue that the main environmental problem is the

loss

of particular

species

of plants and animals,

while

others say that there may be other

issues

that are more important.

However

, I would agree that there are other factors that are more urgent than the extinction of some organisms. On one hand, the

loss

of some

species

of animals and plants is most definitely important, as the

loss

of a

species

can tip the balance of the

ecosystem

.

Hence

, some people argue that it should be a main priority to preserve these endangered

species

. Another reason may be caused by the fact that these particular organisms are part of crucial scientific research. If they were extinct,

then

they would not be able to do their work and make scientific discoveries that may help the human population,

such

as vaccines and medicine.

Conversely

, there are several other environmental

issues

that are

also

of urgent concern.

For instance

, pollution and climate change are

issues

that need to be solved. They affect the

overall

ecosystem

. Without proper waste management and climate actions, habitat disruption is inevitable, which leads to the extinction of organisms.

This

means that it directly affects the

ecosystem

, which can pose a threat to them if not dealt with immediately.

To conclude

, there are other pressing matters that should be immediately dealt with pollution and climate change, as they contribute to the

loss

of habitat which directly affects the existence of plants and animals.
