Some people say that too much attention and too many resources are devoted to the protection of wild animals and birds. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

In recent years, the viewpoint of the fact that an enormous amount of focus and significant number of financial and administrative resources are allocated to the protection of wild animals and birds has become increasingly widespread.

  1. Grammar & accuracy

    RevisedWhile some argue that too much attention and too many resources are devoted to protecting wildlife, I firmly believe that this is not the case, as humans are largely responsible for many threats to wildlife, and also play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.

    The revised sentence is more natural and uses a wider range of grammatical structures.

A primary rationale behind this perspective is that governments have limited budgets. For example, if government continues to spend a substantial amount of money on wild animals and birds, it will foster citizens' hatred and lead to a number of consequences in the long run. Besides the limitation on resources and financial wealth, preserving some species may be less urgent compared with several inescapable issues. Climate change, say, should be tackled, as it is one of the most major problems around the world.

Nevertheless, I completely disagree with the idea that an excessive amount of attention and number of resources are allocated to the preservation of wild animals and birds. First and foremost, humans are causing a mountain of threat to wildlife, as people build construction and roads, which may be hectic and chaotic. Those noises can contribute to the loss of natural habitats, which is why individual should bear the responsibility of protecting wild animals and birds. For example, without even a single type of species, a food chain would probably be destroyed, and most plants and animals would die. Ultimately, a significant number of financial resources should be allocated to the conservation of birds and wild life.
