Far too little has been done to prevent animals and plants from dying out, although

people have been aware of this problem for a long time. Why do people do so little about it? Give
your suggestions on how to solve this problem.

It is irrefutable that people know about the endangered animal and plant species but don’t
take enough efforts to save them. In the following paragraphs I shall discuss the reasons why
people are so indifferent towards this problem and suggest some ways forward.
There are many reasons why people are doing so little about it. Firstly, people nowadays are
very busy coping with the pace of the 24/7 society that this global village is offering. They
are running mad in the rat race of material comforts and working hard to achieve them. They
have become victims of this consumerist society and as a consequence, have become
workaholics. They don’t have time to care about animals and plants. They don’t even know
that their luxuries are at the cost of animal and plant life. Furthermore, they are unaware
about the consequences of the extinction of animal and plant species. For instance, they don’t
know that if the ecological chain is disturbed, it has an impact on them only in the long run.
For example, there are many bat species that are becoming extinct. Such bats help keep the
insect population in control. If these bats die then the insects will increase a lot and destroy
our crops. So, we will have nothing to eat. In
addition, many animals, like rodents, help in the dispersal of plant seeds and in the
pollination of plants. Some of these plants are important for medical research and the
development of medicines.

The solutions need to be implemented on a war footing. There should be increased

awareness about consequences of this phenomenon. Secondly, with funding, biologists and
naturalists can use their years of knowledge to help in the breeding of various animal species.
Furthermore, since people are often responsible for habitat destruction, it is only right that
they use some resources to help preserve whatever important wildlife habitats are left. Trees
should not be cut for housing and furniture. Instead, high rise buildings should be made and
aluminum doors and windows should be used.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, people should be made aware of the
consequences of animal and plant extinction and active steps should be taken to preserve
these species. 

It is true that global natural resources such as oil and water are being depleted at an alarming rate.
There are a number of reasons behind this phenomenon and several solutions should be adopted to
solve the problem. There are two primary reasons why the world’s resources are being over-
exploited. [1] Firstly, developing countries nowadays are heavily dependent on natural resources to
drive their economy, especially in transportation and energy fields. As their citizens are getting
wealthier, their demand for energy consumption is increasing to the level of demand in developed
countries, in terms of gas for cars, and electricity for bigger homes and offices. [2] Secondly, it is
easier to use natural resources rather than spending money to develop and convert sustainable
alternatives, like solar or wind energy. Politicians fear to risk unpopularity by raising energy prices to
fund such developments. Some measures should be taken to mitigate the problem of
overconsumption of these resources. [1] One step is that governments must impose a higher tax on
the use of natural resources to reduce the demand. By raising tax, people’s pockets are affected
directly, thus, they will use these resources more responsibly. For example, water meters should be
installed in homes and workplaces. [2] Another essential measure is to develop and introduce
renewable sources like solar or wind energy as alternatives.. These clean energies not only minimize
