Currently, destruction caused by humans has deprived plants and animals of habitation, leading to the extinction of some species. While some arguments insist that changing the current situation is out of the question, others contend that measures can be taken to alleviate the damage caused by human activities. This essay will elaborate on both views, but the latter will be more emphasized, according to my opinion.
On the one hand, it is difficult to change human behaviors adversely affecting the environment because of that people have been accustomed to the established lifestyle, and that their survival has been attached to the activity, such as logging the woods for financial purposes. Specifically, farming was formed in the first centuries, and became a primary work to feed farmers. Moreover, financial incomes deriving from exploiting the forest cause humans to pertain to this activity. In other words, people’s lives are linked to doing destructive activities.
On the one hand, I believe that people can make a move to mitigate the damage to nature. Firstly, the exploitation of forests can be undertaken according to the established plans. Likewise, humans still can earn money from this practice without taking a toll on species’ living environment. Additionally, the government can bring in laws against poaching endangered species, and in the meantime, local residents should be held accountable for strictly punishing poachers for illegally hunting those species. What is more, the policies of afforestation should be encouraged among communities to maintain greenery, which helps restrict the loss of habitation.
To conclude, although it is possibly impracticable to change humans’ lifestyle, people can still take certain actions, such as planned exploitation, law enacting, and forest cultivation, to alter the current situation.
