Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state, even if these areas could be developed for economic gain.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.


I fundamentally admit that nations should pass laws to preserve remaining wilderness areas in their natural state. However, if the advantages of developing wilderness areas far outweigh its disadvantages, it is feasible to exploit these areas for economic gain. Below are three reasons to support my stance on this issue.


To begin with, nations preserve wilderness areas in their natural state, as a matter of fact, is a way to protect our environment and the ecosystem.  As is universally known, every species plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem. With the rapid development of modern society, many wilderness areas are exploited to develop economics, and the natural environment is damaged severely. More and more species are threatened to die out which not only produces disastrous impacts on the ecosystem, but also does harm to humans. Therefore, nations pass laws to protect remaining wilderness areas is certainly beneficial and necessary.


In addition, some wilderness areas, which are preserved in their natural state, can bring potential economic gain. A striking example is Yellowstone, widely held to be the first national park, which is famous of its wildlife and geothermal features. It attracts millions of tourists every year and acquires significant economic gain. With the income, it can be effectively protected and maintained. Besides, Yellowstone contributes greatly to the local economy.  Accordingly, these wilderness areas should get a priority to be preserved.

However, it is not appropriate to preserve every wilderness area if it is beyond our ability. The extinction of some species is not the result of human activities, but due to natural selection. Even if we spare no effects to protect them, we may feel disappointed since they will be extinct some day. In this case, we should not spend too much money and time on preserving these species and wilderness areas because the cost far outweighs the revenue. Instead, we may develop a part of those areas for more significant gain.


To sum up, there is no doubt that nations should pass laws to preserve some remaining wilderness areas in their natural state. Yet we also should consider the advantages and disadvantages of preserving them. When the disadvantages are far more than the advantages, we may exploit some wilderness areas for other meaningful projects.

前两天应该一致，however是转折。。我怎么感觉前两点的意见也是相反的？

感觉文章大的问题没什么，只是不够具体深入，论证显得力度不够，对于保护野生区域的作用，你可以举更具体的例子来说明，比如有具体哪方面的价值，科学的艺术的还是其他的等等，而对于是否发展为经济牟利，也许举出具体的例子，不宜浮于表面笼而统之的说
