IELTS Writing Task 2 - Animal Extinction (Agree or Disagree Question)


It is a natural process for animal species to become extinct. There is no reason why people should try to prevent this from happening.  


To what extent do you agree or disagree? (13/01/2024) 


SAMPLE ESSAY:


In the contemporary world, the issue of whether humans should actively intervene  to prevent the extinction of animal species is a topic of considerable debate. While some argue that extinction is a natural process and human interference  may be unwarranted , I firmly disagree as biodiversity is crucial for the well-being of our planet and concerted efforts  must be made to preserve it.


First and foremost, biodiversity plays a pivotal role in maintaining the stability of ecosystems. Each species, no matter how small, contributes to the intricate web of life , and the loss of any species can have cascading effects . For example, the extinction of pollinators such as bees can disrupt the pollination process, leading to a decline in the production of fruits and vegetables as well well as affecting other species that depend on these plants for sustenance . Consequently, the collapse of one species can set off a chain reaction  that ultimately impacts the entire ecosystem.


Furthermore, many species have intrinsic value  and contribute to the cultural and aesthetic diversity of our planet. From majestic elephants to vibrant butterflies, each species has unique characteristics that capture the imagination of people around the world. Losing these species not only diminishes  our cultural heritage but also deprives  future generations of the opportunity to marvel at  the wonders of the natural world.


Additionally, human activities, such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change, are major contributors to the accelerated rate of species extinction. Therefore, I contend that it is our moral responsibility to address these human factors and strive to mitigate  their impact on the environment via conservation efforts, habitat restoration, and sustainable practices.


In conclusion, I firmly believe that the prevention of species extinction is not only desirable but imperative for the well-being of our planet. By embracing a responsible approach towards our environment, we can ensure a harmonious coexistence between humans and the diverse array of species that share our planet.

BRAINSTORMING


There is no reason why people should try to prevent animal extinction from happening + personal opinion: Disagree


Body 1: The reason for human interference in terms of stable ecosystems

  • Every species plays a role in keeping ecosystems stable – loss of a species, like bees, can disrupt processes like pollination and affect other species that rely on these → a chain reaction that negatively impacts the entire ecosystem


Body 2: The reason for human interference in terms of cultural diversity

  • Many species have unique qualities that add to the cultural and aesthetic richness of our planet → loss of these species not only reduces our cultural heritage but also denies future generations the chance to appreciate the wonders of the natural world


Body 3: The reason for human interference in terms of moral duties

  • Human activities, such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change, are causing species to disappear faster → it's our responsibility to fix these problems by protecting nature, fixing damaged areas, and using sustainable practices to stop losing different species
