It is aruged that animal species are on the verge of extinction due to natural phenomenons without human involvement. I partly agree with this point of view for some reasons which will be explained below.
To begin with, environment factors are the primary contributor to the disappearance of wild animals. The first cause is that climate change may bring the detrimental effects on reducing living habitat zone. For example, the habitats of wildlife are damaged by global warming, especially the rising temperature at the North and South Pole caused the phenomenon of melting ice, resulting in the number of polar bears is diminishing day by day. Furthermore, frequent natural disasters take place, depleting food sources scarce and posing a threat on human survival. These disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions can happen unpredictly and out of human control, entirely depending on natural operations. This may cause an enormous loss to the whole ecosystem.
However, it seems to me that human activities also have profound impacts on animal survival. Firstly, people have done some illegal trading and usually poaching in recent time, causing the decrease in the number of endangered animals. These animals are elephants, tigers, and rhinos, which their parts such as ivory, bones and horn are poached and traded in the black market to gain some money. Secondly, lacking wildlife conservation policies, hunting became prevalent and many types of animals disappeared. Therefore, governments should have a strict ban on hunters who commit the crime of killing endangered animals.
In conclusion, I partly agree that the natural process has become the main factor of animal extinction, it also affected by human intervention. Therefore, governments should adopt policies on fostering the animal species and the ecosystem.
