    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 these views and give your own opinion.

    Environmental problems have become a common concern for many. Some people may think that the major environmental problem is the loss of plants and animals. Others hold that there are more significant problems. I hold the view that the loss of plants and animals is a part of environmental concerns.

    Many people consider that the loss of plants and animals is the most serious issue because the extinction would destroy biodiversity. The extinction of a species would harm ecological balance. For instance, if wolves died out, the number of sheep would soar since they don’t have predators. As a result, overgrazing would damage meadows.

    Others may argue that human behaviors would cause more severe environmental issues.  The fact is that the population has been increasing in recent years. Hence, the government exploits natural resources to meet people’s needs. For example, they cut down trees to make furniture and to construct houses. Additionally, people use too much energy, causing energy crisis.

    Personally, although the loss of plants and animals is severe, I think it is one aspect of environmental problems. The core of environmental issues is the harmony between man and nature. Human could access to natural resources like fossil energy sources, lands, and marine resources without restrictions. As a result, their actions deteriorate the environment, such as species extinction.

Hence, the many governments exploits are exploiting natural resources to meet people’s needs. For example, they people in the pacific island nations have cut down trees to make furniture and to construct houses. Additionally, in many developed economies/rich countries, people use too much energy, causing an energy crisis.

    Personally, although Although the loss of plants and animals is severe, I think it is one aspect of environmental problems. The core of environmental issues is the disharmony/lack of harmony between man and nature. Humans could access to natural resources like such as fossil energy sources minerals, agricultural lands, and marine resources lives without restrictions. As a result, their actions are bound to deteriorate the environment, such as perhaps resulting in species extinction.
