It is a natural process for animal species to become extinct

It is a natural process for animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaurs, dodos, etc.). There is no reason why people should try to prevent this from happening.

Model Solution

It is often debated whether humans should intervene to prevent animal species from becoming extinct. Some argue that extinction is a natural process that has occurred throughout history and should not be prevented, while others believe that it is the responsibility of humans to protect endangered species.

Those who believe that humans should not prevent extinction argue that it is a natural process and part of the cycle of life. They suggest that species become extinct due to natural selection, which ensures the survival of the fittest. They also argue that some species are not meant to survive forever and that humans should not interfere with the natural order of things.

On the other side, people holding the belief that humans must step in to conserve species argue on the basis that we are obligated morally to help other species avoid extinction. First, human destruction of habitat and climate change significantly contribute to the extinction process and, thus humans must be in charge of them. Other scholars also say most species provide invaluable ecological services so extinction is likely to mean catastrophic results.

In conclusion, while some may argue that extinction is a natural process that should not be prevented, it is important for humans to recognise their role in contributing to extinction and to take responsibility for protecting endangered species. By doing so, we can ensure that these species continue to play a vital role in our ecosystems and that we maintain biodiversity for future generations.
