Governments spend a
lot of money on wildlife protection instead of starting new projects. Is this a
positive or a negative trend? Give your opinion and examples from your
experience.
Striking the right balance between protecting
environment, and continuing progress has become a thorny issue for almost every
government, but more recently the focus seems to be shifting to protecting the
wild fauna and flora, which of course has both some drawbacks and also great
amount of benefits.
Protecting wildlife in all its manifestations
is very critical to maintaining a correct balance in the ecology on the planet.
The life, in all its variations and forms is strongly interlinked to each
other. If even one of them goes missing, others would follow soon, and the ones
left behind would surely be adversely affected. Wild animals and plants benefit
humans in many ways; they ensure availability of pool of genetic diversity;
ensure a clean environment by alleviating pollution levels; and, trees and
green areas also act as the lungs of planets.
Furthermore, wild areas hold many secrets
that could be of great help to humanity. Wild animals, humans, and plants share
a long association – that has lasted over a millions of years, and each carries
encoded references in the genetic build up about the evolution of life on the
planet. This relationship is very critical to study of planet; its evolution;
and changing conditions and environment, which can help to reveal several
critical facts and also find solutions that may prove helpful for preserving
life on this planet.
However, development should not stop at any
cost, as some feel, for with the rising human population, it is becoming
extremely important to provide, food, shelter, employment, health care to the
people. This cannot be ensured unless governments prioritize new initiatives to
develop, even if at the cost of wild life.
To conclude, saving wildlife is surely a
noble task and critical to balanced life on this planet.
