83"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."

Position: agree
Syllabus:
1 remote and accessible to only a few do not mean government is not responsible
2 rare spices protection
3 eco system, nature balance



I completely agree with the speaker’s assertion that even the publicly owned wilderness areas are often exceedingly remote, government still have the responsibility to preserve the areas in their natural state. Since the wilderness areas may be the habitat of some rare spices, and may play a crucial role in the eco-balance of wider areas.

The remoteness of the wilderness areas is not a sufficient reason for the government to leave the areas along. It may be true that due to the isolation of the areas, few people have access to them, but this few people may greatly damage the environment of the areas. Look in to history, people can easily discover that a host of wilderness areas change their shape enormously due to the invasion of a small group of people. The small group of so-called explorers discovers a wilderness area, see the landscape that is really fascinating, come across some spices which they never dreamed of and may be delicious, and they announce their discovery to the world. So, more and more people rush there, railways and airports are built, and hotels and restaurants are constructed. But the wilderness area has been irreversibly changed. To the analysis above, we can observe that the access of a few people without control is fatal enough to wilderness areas. And since those areas are publicity owned, it is natural for the government to be responsible for them.

Some people may ask why cannot human just explore and utilize the wilderness area for our own interests. There are two reasons to this question.

Firstly, the wilderness areas which are still free from the influence of human may be the storehouse of rare plants and animals on the edge of extinction which can hardly be found out side. Earth is the home of all the spices including human. And every spice has the equal right to live and develop on the earth. But human never stop explore and affect nature as well as other spices since our presence. And from a century ago till now, thousands of hundreds of animals and plants have been extinct due to human activity and thousands of hundreds of spices are in danger. Take panda, a kind of animal that is found only in China, for example. Because of the destruction of their habitat which is originally publicity owned wilderness area by human, the number of panda has decreased sharply from several thousand to a few hundred in less than a decade. If the government of China did not legislate to inhibit the overexploitation of the wilderness area and punish the hunt for wild animals, it is very possible that more rare spices including panda have already died out.  

Secondly, on a larger scale, the earth is a frail eco-system as a whole, whose balance may be broke by the slight change in a relatively small area. “The movement of a butterfly’s wing in Brazil may cause a hurricane in America.” This saying may seem exaggerated, but in some sense, it illustrates the complex connection between things which looks irrelevant. This kind of connection may be too subtle for people to fully understand, but unfortunately the world we are living is just full of this kind of connections. The change of a link may result in the breaking of the entire chain. And wilderness areas are links in the chain of eco-system. The damage of the areas may cause unpredictable horrible effect to the eco-system and finally endanger the very existence of human being. So, it is necessary for the government to preserve the wilderness areas.

In conclusion, government is responsible for preservation of the publicity owned land, for the spices living there and for human being ourselves.
