Environmental Sustainability is
important to us. Actually, it's not only for humans but for whole creatures on
this beautiful earth. If environmental sustainability goes well, all the
creatures in this world will be cozy. However, recently many environmental
problems have affect its sustainability. The number of animals and plants is
decreasing. Even, many of them are close to extinction. This problem makes many
people concerned about environmental sustainability. Animals and plants
are a part of the environment. If their number decreases, It will affect humans
too. I think there are many reasons why the number of animals and plants
decreased year by year. I will mention them one by one according to my opinion.
1. Global Warming
The first is global warming. What is
global warming? According to NASA Earth Observatory, Global warming is the
unusually rapid increase in Earth's average surface temperature over the past
century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil
fuels. This phenomenon can affect the lives of animals and plants. Earth will
be hotter than before and it can cause many cases like forest fires, drought,
and others.
2.
Illegal Logging/Hunting
The
second reason is Illegal Logging and Illegal Hunting that humans do. Many
humans are less aware of the protection of environmental sustainability
especially the protection of animals and plants. They often hunt animals for
their own pleasure, moreover, they often hunt animals' skin to make accessories
like hunting a tiger, deer, cheetah, leopard, etc. Not only animals but many
humans also doing illegal logging. A lot of bare forests are visible in various
areas. They cut the forest to expand their land.
3. Loss of Habitat
Animals
and plants complement each other. All of them need a habitat for life. If
Illegal hunting and Illegal logging are still massive, Animals and plants will
lose of their habitat. The loss of habitat will cause the death of plants and
the expulsion of animals from their original homes, so they are forced to
migrate. Although animals try to migrate, many of them can't survive and die
because they are unable to find a new habitat that is suitable for their body
condition.
Those
are the reason in my opinion why animals and plants decreased one by one. Many
humans don't have the awareness to protect the environment. They feel "I
don't care" about the environment, which is so pitiful. If animals and
plants are decreasing, It can affect environmental sustainability. The
environment will be very unstable. Imagine if humans often hunt animals and
plants massively, animals and plants will extinct like dinosaurs a million
years ago. There are no animals and plants anymore. It is a big problem for
humans too. So, the government must be assertive against humans that do illegal
hunting and illegal logging. They must make a rule that arranges hunting and
tree logging limits.
We
as a human must have an awareness to protect our environment. Animals and
plants are part of us, our environment, and our life necessities. We are
not allowed to exploit them massively. Environmental sustainability can make us
comfortable on this beautiful earth. We live with animals and plants. If we
keep our earth clean, animals and plants will comfort us too. We must live
peacefully with them. This earth is heaven that God gives to us in this world.
So, we must keep our environmental sustainability. Not only for us or animals
or plants, but it is for all living creatures on this earth too.
Take
care of our earth.
