依旧难产 。。。。。。。。。 30min太困难了
125 Some people claim that a nation's government should preserve its wilderness areas in their natural state. Others argue that these areas should be developed for potential economic gain.
Nowadays, more and more countries' governments have aware of the damage of wilderness areas that causes by human activities and began to take measures to protect these areas, such as establishing national nature sanctuaries, protecting the endangered animal species, resisting excessive exploitation and so on. However, some opponents suggest that it is better to develop these wilderness areas for potential economic gain to contribute to the local economy. Personally speaking, I basically agree that it is necessary for the governments to preserve the wilderness areas, but sometimes we need circumstances alter cases.
Admittedly, with the human footprints spread all over the world, nearly every wilderness areas they passed through has been altered to commercial development, thus it has become more and more essential and urgent to preserve the few remaining wilderness areas in their natural state. Because the creatures in the ecosystem are linked together, every species' elimination would engender chain reactions. Certainly, according to Darwinism, under the natural state, the extinction of a species would also follow by the appearance of a new kind of creature to maintain biological diversity. This is the result of natural election. But if we could not stop damaging the wilderness areas where are a large amount of animals' hesitates, there is no doubt that the speed of animals' extinction would definitely be accelerated, then the biological diversity would be diminished, which will eventually break the ecological balance and impact human's life and production. Therefore, protecting the wilderness areas is related to the survival and development of mankind, which cannot be neglected.
However, in certain circumstance, it might be inevitable for the governments to exploit the wilderness areas to elevate the development of local economy. The Three Gorges Project is a great example, which is the backbone project for the Yangtze River basin development and harnessing. It has multiple influences on ecology and environment, including and bad ones. On the one hand, it is beneficial for flood protection and control and increasing electric power generation. Without the project, thousands of people lived near the Yangtze River would suffer from the waterflood in every rainy season. When it comes to the generating electricity, the energy supply situation in the east China could be released as the result of operating the project. On the other hand, the disadvantage of the project is obvious as well. The ecological balance of this area has been destroyed, likewise large numbers of endangered animals used to survived in the Yangtze River thoroughly disappeared, such as Chinese sturgeon and white-flag dolphin, because of the reduce of downstream water in the river. Even though this project is still controversial, we cannot deny that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the long-term.
As a matter of fact, protecting the wilderness areas and developing them for commercial use are not absolutely mutual exclusion. By utilizing recourses rationally, it is not impossible for the governments to keep a balance between them, like the Yellowstone National Park in USA is a perfect example. The park not only preserves the wilderness areas and the animals inhabit in it, but also significantly advances the local economic situation by attracting a large amount of tourists every year. Then the rapid development of the local commerce contributes more taxes to the government, which could be revered to preserve the wilderness areas.
In general, with the continually decline of the wilderness areas, it has become imminent for the governments to protect them. Consider to the necessary of promoting the development of economy in some areas, the better solution is to distribute the recourses rationally and take a benign balance between business and environmental protection. |
