People have different views about whether the main environmental issue is the extinction of some species of plants and animals or other environmental problems has to be more emphasised. I believe that there are a plenty of environmental issues which are more important than the lost ot plants and animals.
On the one hand, there are two reasons why plants and animals in danger are ciritical problmes. Firstly, human is not a only owner of the earth, and is just a part of members of the earth. For example, it is impossible for human to live without any other plants and animals, and also it is essential to live together with a symbiotic relationship. In addition, crisis of extinction of plants and animals can have an impact on human’s tables for meals. For instance, animals cannot survive if their food disappear, so they move to another habitat or hunt other preys. This situation can cause serisou disease and gene variation to not only the animals but also mankind who intakes these animals.
On the other hand, other people insist that other environmental problems are more important than the lost of specific plants and animals, and I would argue that this idea is valuable. The extinctions of plants and animals cannot be the most serious issues as there are uncountable other problmes in the envrionment such as air pollution and climate change. The air pollution is a good example. In some countries like China and Korea, the condition of air is terrible, thus it is difficult to stay outside without a mask from time to time. Another example is the climate change like global warming. As the temperature of the earth is getting higher becuase of the smog from cars and so on, many forests have been destroyed. These problems lead to the loss of some plants and animals, so these problems should have priority to resolve.
In conclusion, I can understand why some people believe that the most important problem which we are currently facing is plants and animals in danger, but it seems to me that there are more critical issues in the environment becuase these problmes are more fundamental than the extinction of the species. |
