人类活动已经给动植物带来很多消极的影响，因此有人认为，我们现在才去保护动植物已经太晚了，而其他人则认为我们还可以采取有效措施来改进这种局面。

其实，双方都有道理。

一方面，人类已经在很大程度上破坏了自然生态环境，很多动植物都消失了；另一方面，我们的确又可以采取一些方法来补救，而且的确已经见到成效了。

最近，读到一则新闻，熊猫现在已经不是世界一级濒危动物了，这就是大家采取行动的结果。

Human civilisation has largely destroyed the habitats of many plants and animals so that some species have disappeared entirely from the earth. This situation has caused a strong sense of pessimism among many people that it is already too late for us to do anything about it. Though people have enough reasons to hold this pessimistic view, I am still positive that we can save the situation by taking effective measures.

In the name of "development" and "civilisation", human beings have long ignored the interest of plants and animals. To build a city, for instance, they will not hesitate to cut all the trees in the area and erect numerous concrete buildings in their place. When the trees are gone, all the animals have to leave or die because they can no longer survive. As the urbanisation goes on ruthlessly throughout the world, plants and animals can find less and less space to live in. This situation is bad enough, and shows no positive sign of change.

Yet, this does not mean we are helpless. Though we can not stop the city from spreading altogether, we can create a favorable environment for plants and animals to thrive on. For example, in the center of the city, we can give large spaces for trees and other plants and leave animals living there the way they like. In fact, I have already seen that many cities are running this kind of special "animal parks" which imitate the natural habitats of plants and animals and do not allow people to intrude in. More important is, of course, that people should be educated to understand that human beings themselves would suffer if the entire ecological system were destroyed. Our own existence is so dependent on the plants and animals around us that if they die, we will die, too. With this understanding deep in mind, human beings will try their best to maintain a harmonious relationship with the natural world.

Over the past 5000 years of human development, we do have brought negative effects on plants and animals and the situation seems to be worsening. So, for the benefits of the nature and ourselves, we should act immediately. Though keeping balance between the natural protection and human development is never easy, we can always find a way out. It is never too late to take measures to change the situation, and the earlier, the better.
