▶ Your Answer : It is often said that there are various animals and plants that is facing the crisis of extinction. Thus, we have to consider preserving land for such species. However, I firmly believe that given the limitation of land, we might as well use such land for other purpose like housing and farming for two reasons. Now we are confronting the lack of land for other purposes and there are still enough species living on the earth. To begin with, in today's society, there do not exist enough land for numerous purpose. This is due to the fact that even if we are restricted to using limited space, people is likely to need more and more space for various goals. Moreover, such definite land space is increasingly becoming more limted on account of thawing glacier which makes sea level elevated. According to a study conducted by University of California at Los angeles of the United States, South Korea lacks of house compared to other nations with analogous population density. Therefore, the researcher showed that in ten years. the nation will confront serious housing problems, making people struggle to get a house for living. This implies that the priority of everything considered, necessity of housing, farming land has priority over other uses such as preserving animals' habitat. In addition, contrary to common thought, endangerd species is actually existing in large number. This is due to the fact that many related conservationists are likely to seriouly describe the environmental problems. Although sufficient animals and plants are coexiting in the environment, they usually report they are confronting crisis of extiction. By doing so, they can remind people of the importance of interest in endengered species. For example, in Jeju island, one conservationist reported the number of indigenous eagles were decreasing by geometrically. He claimed that now is the time for us to consider securing enough land for these species. However, it turned out that the report was overall written with exaggeration and the actual number of those eagles was so enough that we did not have to take care of. The conservationist just reported it in order to recall people's interest. This meant that many known endangered living things are virtually less being threatened than we expected. In brief, it looks that we should make sure to maintain appropriate land for threatened species. However, now most of these species is living on good condition unlike people's common idea. Thus, I think we must recognize the fact that needs to use space for aims other than living things preponderate any others. |
