041 Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

The resource of land is limited. With the development of our society, more land is needed for food and house. Meanwhile, habitats of wildlife also need to be protected. In my point of view, although we should take our use of land as priority in order to survive.

Someone may argue that due to the use of land for our human use, especially in recent years, habitats for wild animals are decreasing dramatically, which causes a large number of animals disappearing at an incredible speed. This is a serious problem because the extinction of wildlife means the break of ecological balance that would impact human beings to some degree. Maybe after a long term, it will endanger the existence of mankind. From this point of view, we should save land for animals.

However, in the last one hundred years, the human population in the world has increased dramatically. At present, there are far more than six billion people on the planet, which brings about two basic needs, housing and food. Although more skyscrapers are built in large cities, there are still lots of people without shelter. Although high technology, such as genetic engineering and green house, has been developed to get more food, there are still hundreds of millions of starving people in poor countries. In order to settle these problems, obviously, more land is needed. Therefore, we have no choice but to explore more wild land to satisfy our increasingly needs.

This may seem to be a contradiction. How to deal with it? I prefer to the solution that focuses on the current situation. In other words, I think we should meet our current needs first. The reason is obvious. If we do not increase our land use, the problems discussed above would become more serious. More and more people will be starved to death, our society will move back accordingly. There will be probably no future if these problems at present remains unsolved, not to mention any other long-term plan.

To sum up, although in a long-sight view, we are responsible to reserve habitats for wildlife, we should use more land first in order to address current problems, to save more lives and thus develop.
