The definition
of Biodiversity is as follows:
"The existence of a wide variety of plant and animal species in their natural environments.
I
personally believe that the most important connection lies between humanity and
the natural environment. Humans are without doubt the most advanced,
and influential species on Earth, which is why it is our
responsibility to make sure that through evolving as a species - we do not
leave the environment as an issue we can live without worrying
about.
Unfortunately this
seems to have become the case, with oil wells drying up, and rain forests being
cut-down our natural world is shrinking. This means millions
of species are being affected by human negligence.
I personally believe
that the solution to our past actions are to focus on educating children from a
very young age about the role that the environment plays and the importance of
taking steps to make amends for the poor decision making that has led to the
current situation.
However
education is not the only solution, action needs to be taken.
I believe that the Canada could effectively lead the world into a
future where the environment is not a secondary goal. The Canadian government
should impose higher taxes on logging and fishery companies who are
demanding too much from the naturel environment without giving enough back.
The
reason why I believe Canada should be the one to lead this movement is because
Canada is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural
resources. Also, Canada has a fairly small population compared to countries who
are near its geographical size, which means that it would take a shorter amount
of time to get the message of biodiversity to the entire nation.
