The fights to protect animals and the fights against poverty and diseases are taking place every day on every corner of the world. Nevertheless, how the governments and individuals join in these fights depends greatly on the characteristics of the area they are living. As far as I’m concerned, in some areas, the conservation of animals and their home are costing residents and their government’s huge amounts of money and they should continue taking that step. While with the authorities and individuals in other areas, urgent issues in society have priority over the protection of endangered animals.
On the one hand, developing areas or nations are struggling with complicated” social problems such as poverty or healthcare and conserving wild animals and their habitats are not the first priority. For example, suffering from poverty, starvation, and diseases to death is extremely common in Africa. It is where rainforests, the home of many animal species, are being destroyed are at an alarming rate, which is primarily caused by the activities of the general population. They rely heavily on wood as the major source of energy, cutting down trees for heating and cooking. Residents there are not even meet their own basic human needs, therefore can hardly bother conserving wild animals or their habitats. Clearly, this fact requires the authorities to spend money solving pressing problems in society first if they want to protect animals and the environment they live in.
On the other hand, high income and developed countries, where issues such as poverty and healthcare are no longer problems to their society, are giving a great deal of money to the conservation of endangered animals and their habitats. Many projects have been carried out, in which infrastructure and research are the two most expensive. An example of this is the successful captive breeding program in zoos, which cost a vast amount of money, has resulted in an increase in the world’s panda population. As the problem of conserving endangered animals and their home is getting more urgent, it is worth receiving more money.
In conclusion, I accept that the protection of animals and their habitats is receiving huge amounts of money in some areas and it is reasonable to continue to give money to it. While in other areas, pressing issues in society such as poverty and healthcare are the first priorities,
