Human activities have negative effects on plant and animal species. Some people think it is too late to do anything about this problem. Others believe that effective measures can be taken to improve this situation. Discuss both views and give your opinion.


Humans have caused massive harm to other life forms on earth with their actions. Some feel immense damage has been done, and nothing can be done to reverse the current situation. However, the more optimistic individuals think this situation can be improved to be conducive to other organisms with the help of some constructive steps. This essay aims at discussing both views before concluding.

Indeed, immense damage has happened to animals and plants. The extent of damage is so much that numerous species of animals and plants are either extinct or endangered. Mindless industrialization has harmed other organisms, but it has made our lives so comfortable that even governments lack the will to act. The more industrial and technical progress the human race makes, the more our life becomes more luxurious, and going back may be nearly impossible. It will further be more hazardous for other creatures. For example, although the widespread use of 5G technology has led to the killings of a large chunk of birds in cities, it has increased the speed of the internet, and it seems unlikely to go back to the earlier speed of the internet even if it is fatal for birds.

On the contrary, others feel there is still light at the end of the tunnel, and with some sincere effort and willpower, the coexistence of other beings is possible on this beautiful planet. If we do away with using non-biodegradable and non-renewable resources. Also, if we either learn to keep our desires in check or focus on building techniques that could help downsize the side effects of our progress, the world can become conducive to the thriving of animals and plants.

Finally, the so-called human progress has been so mindless that ecological balance has gone for a toss. However, I wish to assert that if governments and citizens work cooperatively and are determined to do something, they can do it. Authorities can adopt better strategies and stricter implementation of those, while humans can be more respectful of others’ existence by sacrificing some comfort and luxury. It is essential since humans can not survive in seclusion, and our existence is dependent on others’ survival.
