I feel that in my country India, now there is a need to save the land as is where
is for farming, agriculture, and jungle habitat. In this essay I shall elaborate
my view point.

India is highly overpopulated and population is increasing continuously. The basic

human needs for water, food, housing and fuel are making unprecedented demands on
our nation and ecosystems. Further than the necessities of survival, there is
increasing demand for more material goods and services. Nation strives to increase
material wealth and the comforts and conveniences, the pressure on biodiversity
and natural resources increases. Over population necessitates enormous housing
constructions this causes trees falling and jungle cutting thereby causing
imbalance of ecology. In addition, too many vehicles are needed that cause
environment pollution by emission of carbon mono oxide and carbon-dioxide.
Furthermore heat generation by automobiles add to global warming. Global warming
represents a profound and emerging threat to biodiversity all around. As
temperatures rise, many habitats for plants and animals will change sometimes
depriving them of the homes and niches. Many species will not be able to migrate
fast enough to keep up with shifting habitat ranges. As a result, many species
will become extinct, and ecosystems all around will become even more fragile.

Last but not least massive industrialization causes tremendous amount of gases in
the atmosphere that has caused depletion in ozone layer resulting into shortage of
Oxygen. Many other liquids discharged in form of effluents contaminate the earth
thereby most fertile land turns into barren.

In conclusion, in light of the above facts, it is better to leave the balance land
for farming, agriculture and jungle habitat for species and wildlife.
