The issue of giving priority for human's demands on farmland, housing and industry or paying more

attention to living space of endangered animals is debatable. Although arguments for and against it
are varied and reasonable, I would contend that the needs of human beings in ensuring their
existence should be considered as the most important issue in the society.

To begin with, as reported on media communications, there are thousands of people all over the world
are facing with homelessness and poverty. Their humble expectation is to have a shelter to stay in
and some food to eat, but it is far too easy to get there. For example, in Vietnam, especially the
Centre of Vietnam where attacked by many severe natural disasters, people's life here are unstable
as after each flood or storm, their houses and their farms are seriously damaged. Therefore, the
governments should make a great effort in discovering new areas for those so that their life can be
improved and from there, they can contribute to the development of the society.

It may be argued that we should save lands for rare animals to maintain the balance of eco-system.
They stress that it is important to the sustainable development of environment. However, this view will
be soon flawed as the fact that if there are not enough lands for human's need, they have to resort to
the forest land by doing mass deforestation to have more space for farming, housing and industry. As
a result, the environment could be more severely affected.

In conclusion, I strongly hold to the view that human's demand for their living in terms of lands should
be given more priority than keep space for endangered species based on the evidences mentioned in
the essay

Animals, plants, and varieties of other species are an important part of our ecosystem. Reckless
industrialisation and urbanisation have led to clearing off of large lands of forests. In this essay, I will
elucidate why exploiting the environment for human needs can be dangerous in the long run.
In the past century, the miracles of industrialisation have enabled man to produce and build at a large
scale. This industrialisation has led to urbanisation, consumerism and rising luxuries. Man today
demands luxury items as a means of survival. These demands can be met only if the new factories
and services can be established which requires large areas of lands. People believe that unexploited
land and resources should be put to use for human benefits otherwise, they’ve no purpose.
Contrary to these arguments, the climate change, natural calamities, and extinction of many species
are evidence to the fact that unplanned exploitation of nature can be destructive.
Disturbance in the ecosystem – Each living being is an important part of our ecosystem. If even one of
them is removed, it would lead to a serious disturbance. A disturbance at one or the other level
indirectly affects human survival too. Cutting down forests, building dams displace many families as
well flora and fauna.
Severe exploitation of natural resources – Soil erosion and floods are a consequence of mindless
exploitation. Global warming is another consequence of unplanned industrialisation. Also, at the rate
with which we are using up the nonrenewable resources, we’ll run out of them in the coming years.
Nature has been taken for granted.
Unhealthy lifestyle – A man’s life devoid of nature is an unhealthy life. At a time when technology has
overshadowed even human relationships, people are getting more disconnected with a natural
lifestyle.
Natural calamities – Nature doesn’t wait for anyone. If we disturb the ecosystem, it will find any way to
stabilise itself. Many times this involves severe loss to human lives. The floods in India in 2013 is a
prime example of what happens when the ecological balance is disturbed.
In conclusion, industrialisation should be increased at a pace that nature always remains in balance.
A man’s needs know no boundaries, he will always remain dissatisfied. To fulfill superficial needs, we
cannot abuse the very nature which gives us life. Man is a part of nature, not its master.
