In contemporary society, the issue of protecting wild animals has become a subject of intense debate. While some argue that all wild animals should be protected, others contend that some species of wild animals should be protected. This essay will discuss both perspectives before arguing to protect the fauna.
On the one hand, proponents of protecting all wild animal species put forward several compelling reasons. The primary justification is that all species of fauna play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. For example, even if one species of endangered or existing wild animals is reduced, it takes a heavy toll not only on food resources but also on scientific and medical research, as these species hold potential benefits for curing incurable ailments such as Parkinson’s disease and certain types of cancer. Therefore, if we don’t take preventive measures to increase the number of such endangered species, it is likely that we may fail to realise the importance of these species in finding cures for diseases that may come from learn deeply about wild animals.
On the other hand, those who advocate for a certain species of wild animals should be protected, rather than all species, also have a valid point. They emphasise that specific animal species, especially predatory ones, would be dangerous and pose risks to safety and societal well-being. This is particularly true in cases where people live far from urban areas and near wild environments that may be at greater risk of attacks by wild animals, such as lions, snakes, and others. Were governments to underestimate this factor and focus solely on an increasing number of all wild animals, the consequences for the community and individuals could be severe.
By way of conclusion, while both sides of the argument have their merits, I am convinced that governments should focus on the decline of endangered species and on preventive measures to safeguard society. Therefore, it is imperative that policymakers invest in conservation strategies and allocate resources to protect vulnerable species. Only through such measures can we hope to achieve balanced biodiversity and long-term environmental sustainability.
