PLESSE HELP ME WITH THIS! I have a lot more to do and if someone could answer that would be great T^T Write a paragraph about the controversy of saving endangered species and habitats versus the economic livelihood of humans. It should include a description of the controversy, where you stand on the issue, and what you think the future of humans and biodiversity should be.

Explanation:

For many reasons ranging from climate change and habitat loss to overpopulation and consumer choices, thousands of animal species are now at various levels of risk of disappearing. The rate of extinctions for both plants and animals is estimated to be 1,000 to 10,000 the natural rate (according to the Center for Biological Diversity and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, respectively). Since human activities are the sources of many of these threats, extinctions reflect a wide range of human follies and miscalculations. To arrest this trend, changes in human consumption patterns, reproduction, cultural attitudes, energy sources, economic expectations, and more, are required. In practical terms, a complete approach requires programs as diverse as reducing meat consumption in wealthy nations and making solar ovens available to impoverished people in poorer nations. Since many of these changes are desirable for other reasons (such as reducing overpopulation and the prospect of wars over increasingly scarce resources), partnering with entities that tackle these problems could be a useful part of the campaign to save endangered species. The problems described are global in scope, but this paper emphasizes causes and recommendations pertinent to the United States. Further, since saving species is ultimately inseparable from saving livable habitats, it will also emphasize climate change and preserving land and ecosystems. Special attention is given to some key causes (climate change, overpopulation, industrial agriculture, meat) and selected solutions (preserving ecosystems, education, technology). I argue that a range of solutions is needed; that they work together to create conditions favorable to species survival; and that some can work independently. (No global directing body is required or feasible, though an overall vision is desirable). The kinds of programs encouraged in this report may be broad or focused, short-term or long-term, and coming from individuals, NGOs, governments, community groups, and more–in short, from every locus of human endeavor. While focused projects are the bread and butter of conservation, the overall movement must be broad and inclusive. Saving one species at a time is little help if its habitat is destroyed, and saving habitats is of limited help while climate change continues unchecked.

i'm sorry, but can you list the answers? i cannot with something i don't know the answers to
