It is important for governments to protect wild animals andwilderness areas for future generation.



A question discussed keenly is that whether it is importantfor government to protect wild animals and wilderness areas for futuregeneration. There may be someone claiming that government should take expensesmainly to invest into basic facilities and the public’s welfare. However, I,given the chance, prefer to endorse that wild animals and wilderness areasshould have primary consideration.

Firstly, as there are many kinds of nearly extinct species such as Giant Panda, Crested Ibis and Chinese Alligator, we, human should try our best to avoid the tragedy. Life is the paramount thing in our life and everyone should respect it, no matter whose life it is. Actually, animals are our good friends; they have never ever threatened our daily life, why should we destroy theirs by hunting them for their skins or other organs to make clothes, furniture and other things? With the same reason, plants refresh the air we breathe by absorbing carbon dioxide and other harmful gas, why should we cut down the trees and trample the grassland? Both animals and plants form beautiful natural scenery which makes us feel comfortable, so we should treasure the invaluable resources.   Moreover, wild animals and wilderness areas form something called ecosystem, actually, we, human is a part of the ecosystem. Without protection, the balance of nature would be destroyed which probably threatens our daily life simultaneously. For example, the reason why some areas are always flooding might be that there are too few trees there. After removing the trees, soil would become softer and easier to be scrubbed by water of the river or the sea. For animal, it reminds me something happened years before. The animals eat locusts became instinct and it caused huge amounts of locusts, which are harmful insects threatening the growth of crops. Then we needn’t guess what happened next, people live there must face serious famine.     Above all, I’m still inclined to support thestatement that it is important for governments to protect wild animals and wilderness areasfor future generation. Nature is the base of our daily life; actually, it isthe most important thing. Protecting our natural environment is theprerequisite of ensuring the public’s welfare and basic facilities.
