Sample Answer 1:
Nowadays, plenty of flora and fauna are demised because of humans’ activities. Nations might be informed why these creatures’ safety are endangered for many decades, but the lack of enough information and a shortage of budget may be the leading reasons why this issue has not been addressed. I personally believe that governments should take responsibility more to solve it.

To begin with, one important reason is that people are not appropriately notified via media. Clearly, the best source of information is news or some documentary programmes shown on television or the Internet; however, unfortunately, their coverage is not sufficient. In particular, billions of fishes died in Persian Gulf Sea during Iran-Iraq war from 1982 to 1989 due to oil spillage, while no organisation became responsible in giving enough data to people. Had citizens of Iran known more about it, more practical implementations would have applied by the related organisations or individuals. Therefore, to solve similar accidents, it is essential that the local media work more closely with the related sectors to inform viewers and find more phenomenal solutions to prohibit such devastating environmental disasters.

Another factor is scarce of the needed funds for having better proactive strategies. Obviously, to raise the safety of wildlife, administrations must spend a remarkable amount of money to protect vegetations or animals. For example, the US government was better to escalate the funds needed for the protection of extinct mammals which were hunted by poachers during last three decades. As a result, international organisations should value more livestock and plants and push state authorities to spend more money on the protection of these creatures.

In conclusion, although nations know about the extinction of live creatures, more actions are needed. From my perspective, each medium must expose more the consequences of this problem to the public than before, and international organisations must be more active to elevate the needed funds for expansion of this protection.

Model Answer 2:
Earth is a planet of nature, everything which is needed to survive and thrives was purely provided by nature and animals. Nature is a blessing of God, but the way humans are living is tremendously destructive towards nature.

We find our food, clothing, shelters and almost everything that we are doing is beneficial to the health was provided by animals and plants. Although Extinction is an innate phenomenon that occurs at an ordinary "surroundings" rate of between one to five species every year, but despite protection efforts, scientists estimate species are vanishing between 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural rate with dozens of animal and plant species going extinct every day. But actually we humans are destroying the land, the sea, the air, the animals, the trees, and everything really that has a life. We are literally poisoning Nature, Biologists believe that mass extinction poses a massive threat to the survival of the organism, a more serious environmental problem than even its contributor, global warming; and that the dangers of mass extinction are woefully underestimated by almost everyone outside science.

The human is aware of the causes which are destroying the living ratio of organisms but doesn’t paying any attention to overcome the basis for personal benefits and comfort zone. Personal benefits here refers to those people who were indulged in making company products like, leather garments, clothing, blanket, furniture, and many other products made from animals or plants. Such people were aware of the harms of destructing trees as it will vanish fresh air, increase the pollution rate, on the other hand, it will also harmful for the natural dairy product if animals will be dying out quickly but they do not care. The comfort zone refers to those people who were purely self-centered and self-oriented, it does not matter to them what is happening outside. They are too busy with their lives that they do not have time to feel the blessing of nature. They do not have enough time to spend with the beauty of nature and take necessary steps to protect it.

However, people are ignoring the dying out ratio of plants and animals, and taking minor steps to prevent the reasons. The government should make strict policies and rules to protect plants and animals from hunting. Such policies can be helpful to save the organisms and to develop the empathetic feeling in people to care nature, which is the great blessing of God.
