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.

Some people believe that the biggest environmental problem nowadays is the disappearance of some specific

species

of animals and

plants

,

while

others think that there are more important issues related to the environment. Personally, I agree with the latter and will explain my reasons in the following paragraphs. On the one hand, the extinction of particular

plants

and animals has disrupted the ecological system, which means that different

species

in the world are dependent on each other.

For instance

, research shows that if a specific type of fish

may threaten human life on the planet. In fact,

due to

rising temperatures the polar icebergs are melting at an unprecedented rate and many countries are experiencing severe droughts.

As a result

, some coastal cities might submerge

a rise in sea levels and many countries might be forced to struggle with famine and starvation in the near future.

In addition

, unclean air in big cities has caused many respiratory problems and diseases among residents.

This

evidence shows that tackling

this

serious issue should be prioritized over other problems. In conclusion, I believe that

although

the loss of different

species

of flora and fauna should be taken seriously, global warming and air pollution are much more pressing issues that we need to address seriously.
