As the world is developing and being innovative depends on humankind’s desire, the list of endangered flora and fauna continues to expand. There are many causes: developments in agriculture, forestry, transport and urbanization. Some would argue that the loss of biodiversity is a price that we must pay for progress. Nevertheless, in my view, there is much that governments can and should do to protect and prevent the loss of the world’s plants and animals.
Governments could promote greater understanding of plants and animals by investing in research and preservation efforts of universities, zoos, and non-profit organizations about nature. This may ensure the survival of individual species and produce practical benefits for society. However, this strategy alone would do little to protect the whole under-threatened ecosystems.
Furthermore, the most effective solution is to limit the damage to its resources. There should be an alternative strategy to protect natural habitats by publishing the laws, policy and terms. This would have immediate positive consequences for metropolitan and industrial areas. For instance, companies that engage in practices that harm the environment should be required to demonstrate that they have taken all reasonable efforts to minimize the damage. Public contracts for roads and buildings should only be considered to firms that have a good environmental track record.
The strategies outlined above: preservation, protection and prevention. All of the above, prevention can do much to reverse the destruction that threatens biodiversity. The realistic and aesthetic benefits of doing so are well worth of the cost
