I feel that in my country India, now there is a need to save the land as is where is for farming, agriculture, and jungle habitat. In this essay I shall elaborate my view point.
India is highly overpopulated and population is increasing continuously. The basic human needs for water, food, housing and fuel are making unprecedented demands on our nation and ecosystems. Further than the necessities of survival, there is increasing demand for more material goods and services. Nation strives to increase material wealth and the comforts and conveniences, the pressure on biodiversity and natural resources increases. Over population necessitates enormous housing constructions this causes trees falling and jungle cutting thereby causing imbalance of ecology. In addition, too many vehicles are needed that cause environment pollution by emission of carbon mono oxide and carbon-dioxide. Furthermore heat generation by automobiles add to global warming. Global warming represents a profound and emerging threat to biodiversity all around. As temperatures rise, many habitats for plants and animals will change sometimes depriving them of the homes and niches. Many species will not be able to migrate fast enough to keep up with shifting habitat ranges. As a result, many species will become extinct, and ecosystems all around will become even more fragile.
Last but not least massive industrialization causes tremendous amount of gases in the atmosphere that has caused depletion in ozone layer resulting into shortage of Oxygen. Many other liquids discharged in form of effluents contaminate the earth thereby most fertile land turns into barren.
In conclusion, in light of the above facts, it is better to leave the balance land for farming, agriculture and jungle habitat for species and wildlife.
