Illegal hunting is one of the main environmental issues in the world today. This essay will explain
some problems with it and give some possible solutions.
One problem caused by illegal hunting is that it can make some animals go extinct. Many rare
animals are hunted and sold for their fur, skin, or meat, or as pets. The Tasmanian tiger, passenger
pigeon, and dodo are just a few examples of animals we hunted to extinction. Some animals now
have very small populations, and they might go extinct if we don't stop illegal hunting. The
government should make people pay fines for hunting rare animals. The fines should be really high
to deter people from illegal hunting. The government should also make people aware of the fines
with signs and commercials on TV Another problem caused by illegal hunting is that it can cause
damage to coral reefs. Some fishermen break coral to try to catch rare fish. Breaking coral does
harm to the ecosystem of the ocean because coral reefs are the homes for thousands of species of
fish and other animals. Countries have to teac people not to hunt rare fish or destroy cora.
To conclude, illegal hunting can cause animals to go extinct. It can also cause damage to the
environmen These problems can be solved with action from governments and people. Making
people pay lots money for hunting and teaching people not to hunt rare animals will help save the
environment.

Preserving the ecosystem is crucial for the well-being of our planet and future generations. The
ecosystem refers to the interconnected network of living organisms and their physical environment.
It encompasses various ecosystems, such as forests, oceans, grasslands, and wetlands, each playing
a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. Preserving the ecosystem is essential because it
supports biodiversity, regulates climate, provides valuable resources, and offers countless benefits
to humans and other species.
Biodiversity, or the variety of life on Earth, is a fundamental component of a healthy ecosystem.
Each species, from plants to animals, plays a unique role in maintaining the ecosystem's stability
and functionality. By preserving diverse habitats and protecting endangered species, we can ensure
the preservation of biodiversity. Furthermore, ecosystems contribute to climate regulation by
absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Forests, for
example, act as carbon sinks and help mitigate climate change. Preserving these natural habitats is
crucial in combating climate change and its associated impacts.
Moreover, preserving the ecosystem also ensures the availability of valuable resources that sustain
human life. Ecosystems provide essential services such as clean air, clean water, fertile soil, and
natural resources like timber, food, and medicine. By practicing sustainable and responsible use of
these resources, we can ensure their availability for future generations. Additionally, a healthy
ecosystem offers recreational and aesthetic benefits, providing opportunities for outdoor activities,
relaxation, and connection with nature.
Preserving the ecosystem requires collective efforts from individuals, communities, governments,
and organizations. It involves adopting sustainable practices, reducing pollution and waste,
conserving energy and water, supporting conservation initiatives, and promoting environmental
education. By working together, we can contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem, protect our
planet's natural resources, and ensure a sustainable and thriving future for all.
