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. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some would argue that the biggest environmental problem is the extinction of many

species

of plants and animals,

while

others say that there are more important problems like

air

pollution and global warming.

While

the

loss

of diversity of

species

can be a very serious problem, I believe that global warming and

air

pollution together make up a more significant trouble. The

loss

of only

one

species

can impact the local ecosystem in a bad way. Because all animals and plants take an important role in a local ecosystem. If we take out only

one

from the local system, it will break the whole food chain.

For example

local people from

one

village in Uzbekistan destroyed all sparrows in the surrounding area. Lately, it caused an overpopulation of insects, which destroyed a harvest of wheat.

However

, I think that even if the

loss

of

one

species

is

such

a big trouble, global warming and

air

pollution cause more problems, including the

loss

of

species

. In recent decades, humanity started to pollute the

air

very intensively. With

a lot of fabrics have been built around the world.

Furthermore

, in modern times almost every family has their own car. Adding all of these factors, we have an increasing average temperature around the Earth, which impacts to climate and can destroy a lot of unique ecosystems and local flora and fauna.

For example

, the changing climate at the North Pole caused a melting of icebergs, which resulted in increasing in ocean water levels and the extinction of polar bears. In conclusion, despite the lack of diversity of animals and plants being a very serious problem, there is

also

another trouble, which humanity faced in the

last

century.
