Some people argue that excessive resources and effort are being devoted to wild animals and birds. Although this opinion might sound sensible to a certain extent, I believe that protection these groups of animals is necessary to the overall development of society
On the one hand, critics of spending resources on wild species believe that resources should be allocated to more important and indispensable areas contributing to human welfare including healthcare, or education. In fact, in many underdeveloped countries, many residents are suffering from malnutrition, illiteracy, lack of medical infrastructure, or bare necessities such as clean water to survive. Therefore, human benefits should be prioritised over other species and excessive attention to wild species seems immoral while many human’s urgent problems are still existing. Opponents also argue that dying or decrease in the number of wild animals or birds are inevitable as it is a rule of life. For example, dinosaurs also faced extinction many ages ago without human’s interference
However, this opinion seems flawed because in this contemporary world, every species contributes to the diversity and harmony of society and therefore, they deserve survival and protection. Moreover, human’s practices and habits have long affected negatively on ecosystems and wildlife as they disrupt natural habitats and food sources of wild animals. Therefore, humans should take moral responsibility towards wild species. Additionally, if people fail to take measures to protect animals, it can cause many serious consequences. For instance, in Yellowstone National Park, the dramatic fall in the number of wolves has severely disrupted the food chain, because once the sheep might escape from their predators, they will have little difficulties to eat and harm the agricultural products in the farms, which severely affected the livelihood of residents. The wild species also contribute largely to biological diversity, one of the factors that guarantees nation’s sustainable development and prosperity
In conclusion, critics might oppose the idea of allocating much resources to wild animals and birds because of other existing issues of humans and the natural rule of life. However, I believe that people should maintain the attention to wild species as a way of demonstrating their moral accountability, safeguarding the food chain and national development
