Nowadays, a lot of money is being spent on preserving wildlife by the governments. Some believe it is favorable evolution, whereas others consider that this money could be spent on various other projects.
A lobby of environmentalists regards this step as a beneficial phenomenon since such investments can help nature in various ways: protect wild flora and fauna, as well as their habitats, the forests. These green buffers not only help in preventing soil erosion but also regulating the buildup of greenhouse gases. This can prove to be extremely beneficial for the humans who have become a subject of wrath of nature in various forms, like flooding and droughts, to name a few.
Moreover, by saving wildlife, society is creating and conserving a rich source of raw materials, which are used for different purposes: many secretions of wild animals are used in medicines and different foods such as mushroom, Cranberries, and so on, are obtained from these places which are consumed by humans. The end results of this are beneficial for mankind and are used for their convenience by all.
However, this has also hampered many projects of construction, irrigation and other important things which are vital for society; thus halting the progress, so the critics believe that this money could be utilized for other purposes which is the need of the hour for the upliftment of society from poverty. As per them, investing this money in organisational bodies who provide food and shelter to them would have been a better choice as many go hungry to bed everyday.
Overall, as per some, it is important to invest the money for other projects rather than wildlife, I believe, saving wildlife is much more important for humans to survive as they depend on each other for various needs, and hence it is a positive development.
