In recent years, the conservation of wild animals and birds has become a popular topic of heated debate, but some individuals believe that the attention and resources given to it are too excessive. In my opinion, I would support the idea that we should reduce the excessive investment in protecting wildlife.
On the one hand, it is true that the pollution of the environment is still getting worse nowadays and the number of animal species is reducing. This issue plays a vital role in ecosystem functioning, which means that many resources, such as funding and public attention, are required for professional wildlife conservation groups.
However, although the importance of wildlife protection is widely known, there is a growing argument that resources given to this area could be better used elsewhere. Firstly, technological advancements have profoundly improved the conservation status of many endangered animals. For instance, the number of Chinese pandas was so low that the cute species was nearly disappearing. But now, the panda has seen an incredible recovery due to advanced technologies in animal disease treatment. This progress suggests that the initial investment in conservation has paid off and that excessive resources should be given to other pressing issues.
Secondly, there are a lot of social issues that demand immediate public attention and resources. Unemployment, for example, is an urgent problem that affects not only individuals’ financial stability but also has a greater influence on society, such as increased poverty and reduced consumer spending. It is no doubt that other problems related to people are more worthy of attention than wildlife protection.
In conclusion, while I acknowledge that the work of wild animals and birds conservation is noteworthy, more fundamental social issues still play a key role in our daily lives instead of wildlife. Compared to the waste of resources on animal protection, focusing more on human society is the current mainstream.
