　　保留土地给濒临绝种的动物

　　地球上的土地就只有这么多,所以我们可以利用土地的方式有限.

　　有些人认为人类对于耕地、居住以及工业的需求应该摆在第一位,但是有人则认为,有些土地应该留给濒临绝种的动物.我的看法是,基于下列的理由,我们应该保留一些土地给地球上的动物.

　　首先,人类对土地的需求在不断增加.如果这些需求不以某种方式来加以抑制,人类最后将会开发完地球上所有可用的土地.到那时候,人类将没有栽种作物的空间,而且全部的野生动物将会和其他宝贵的资源一样消失殆尽.其次,人类可以创新并且以更有效率的方式来使用已经拥有的土地,动物则无法做到这一点.一旦土地被剥夺,它们就会死亡.第三点,也是最后一点,濒临绝种的动物是我们地球上物种多元性的重要组成部分.如果它们消失了,我们无法预测将会造成什么样有影响.因此,我们应该把这些动物视为需要保护的珍贵资源.
