提纲：
观点：政府应该尽一切可能保护那些现存的原始生态环境
偏远并不能阻挡人们对原始生态环境的破坏
原始生态环境有很多都非常脆弱
有很多人已经在这方面做出了表率
政府因其强于个体的能力理应承担这份义务
Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people.

In an age of rapid development of nearly every aspect of the society, in many countries, the extension of the civilization has reached the furthermost border area, there are fewer and fewer wilderness areas existing now where maintain a complete wild ecological system. In this case, we should take any means that is necessary to preserve such wilderness areas against the threat of the process of the civilization.

Although some of the wilderness areas are extremely remote and hard to reach, this is no guarantee for them to avoid being agitated by the outside factors. With the help of advanced transportation and vehicles, it is now possible for people to get to any where they want. Although this may facilitate the entry of explorers and researchers, it also benefits the poachers and other people with evil intention. Take Hohxil reserve in Tibet as an example, the extremely auduous environment has not kept the poachers from it, on the contrary, they are becoming more and more rampant. Another terrible factor which threaten the wilderness areas is that, the ecological system in these areas are normally fragile and can not sustain even the lightest agitation. Take Tibet’s as an example, due to the arid climate and auduous environment. Only a few plants and animals can adapt to the very circumstance through thousands of years’ efforts. Although accumulate such a complete ecological system may need thousands of years, thoroughly destroy it may only need to a few decades. We may all feel sorry for the disappearance of numerous kinds of wild animals due to human’s slaughter and the extension of civilization. The most effective way to reduce such tragedies is to prevent them from occurring. Thereby, nothing can be more imperative than preserving the extant wilderness areas and the animals living there.

I am really glad to see that, many people with foresight and intelligence has already made great effort to this project. Take the construction of Qinghai-Tibet railway as an example, this project is not only being admired as a miracle of engineering but the project as a whole is also a marvel in environmental protection. For this so called ‘sky line’ cuts cross the world most fragile ecosystems in Tibet, and the biggest one of is Hohxil Reserve, the main habitat of Tibetan antelope. Nearly 200 million dollars have been disbursed to prevent the railway form disturbing the environment. This project will be long praised not only for the prosperity and felicities coming along with it to Tibet but also be eulogized as a symbol of preserving wild animals and the harmonious relationship between human beings and wild animals.

Qinghai-Tibet railway set an example of the important role played by government in environmental protection. Preserving the wilderness areas and ecosystems are projects in need of great investment which could not be afforded by one or two individuals. Thus, the government should take its responsibility to preserve these wilderness areas. Perhaps saving one or two plants are meaningless for the development of human civilization, but to the whole ecosystem of earth, the very act is absolutely worthwhile for it help keep the completeness of the whole ecosystem.

In conclusion, we should take any means if possible to preserve the endangering wilderness areas. Not for the development of human civilization, but for the natural ecosystem which supports our lives.
