The Importance of Environmental Conservation |
|
|
In recent times, we are often shocked by the occurrence of natural disasters
that strike almost every country and have taken the lives of thousands of
innocent people. Many question the cause of these natural disasters and
scientifically it has been proven that it is the result of modernization carried
out by human beings. The reckless pursuit of building development without
considering the long-term effects on the environment should be a concern of the
world's society today. The environment is a treasure created over hundreds or
even thousands of years but destroyed by humans in just a few years. Therefore,
each of us must reflect and start finding ways to preserve and conserve the
environment for the benefit of environmental interests.
One of the primary significances of environmental conservation is that the
habitat of flora and fauna will be preserved. The environment, including
mountains, forest distribution to the oceans, is the habitat of flora and fauna.
Due to the increasing population of human beings from year to year, the
development of settlements is also becoming more vigorous. We cannot deny that
development is important in achieving progress, but the element of environmental
conservation should be the main agenda. This is because we are still dependent
on sources of flora and fauna in various aspects of life, especially food
supplies. For example, oil spills that occur in the sea have caused fish to die,
and fishermen cannot meet the demands of consumers. As a result, food safety
issues will arise and may cause conflicts between countries. Effective control
mechanisms must be implemented so that consumer demand can be met while
preserving the habitat of flora and fauna is guaranteed. Let us not behave like
the Malay proverb "Given a thigh, they seek a whole leg," meaning a greedy
attitude will harm us.
At the same time, the world's ecosystem will become stable if the environment is
well-preserved. Global warming, rising sea levels, and pollution are issues that
have arisen in the past two or three decades. This is due to industries created
by human beings, which have disturbed the ecosystem that sustains the functions
of the earth. For example, carbon emissions have resulted from the burning of
energy such as processing plants and the use of fossil fuels for transportation.
As a result, the depletion of the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect occur,
where the lack of trees to neutralize the carbon level on the earth's hemisphere
has contributed to the increase in temperature. Therefore, conventional society
must work together to find ways to make the earth's ecosystem stable while
achieving human progress. This is in line with the Malay proverb "What is chased
cannot be caught, what is enclosed goes around."
In addition, environmental conservation is essential to ensure the health of
human beings. We are weak creatures and are easily affected by environmental
pollution caused by human activities. For example, air pollution has led to an
increase in respiratory diseases, and water pollution has caused outbreaks of
waterborne diseases. It is important for us to take care of the environment so
that future generations can live in a healthy and clean environment. This is in
line with the Malay proverb "A stitch in time saves nine," meaning that taking
preventative measures now can prevent greater problems in the future.
In conclusion, environmental conservation is a crucial issue that should not be
taken lightly by society. Human activities have led to the degradation of the
environment and the occurrence of natural disasters. We must work together to
preserve and conserve the environment for the sake of the future. Each of us has
a responsibility to ensure that future generations can live in a clean and
healthy environment. |
