I believe the most pressing environmental issue facing the world today is loss of natural land and animals. Everywhere around the world people are tearing down natural land to build skyscarpaers, condos, and universities. The land they are destroying is not only messing with our own health, by destroying resources vital to our own survival, but it is also destroying animals. There are tons of endangered, and threatened animals out there, many of which people dont even care about. I am not against hunting, i think its fine, people can do what they want, but i am against killing for no reason. There are tons of people who hunt just to kill and leave these animals there. There are also people who just dont care that we are losing entire species, because they dont know of their importance to our survival. If you kill off one little tiny bug, it will effect the entire food chain. People dont realize this, they think "oh its a bug who cares", but there are other species that rely on that bug for survival, and if its gone, they will be too, and there predator, and so on until it reaches the top of the food chain and we run out of animals to prey on. Which by the time that happens, we will already have killed off all of our natural agricultural food. If i was given 100 billion dollars to use on the environment, i would use probably 60% of it on preserving land and animals, and use the rest accordingly with other issues.
