6. There’s no point in spending large amounts of taxpayers’ money on biodiversity policies when we have more pressing needs, such as health care and social services.
7. What matters more than anything is that humans are permitted to have the best standard of life on earth, while that privilege lasts.

For:
2. Biodiversity is one of man’s greatest assets.
3. All living things from mammals to fish to insects to plants are connected and depend upon each other for survival. The removal or extinction of one species affects our entire environment.
4. Hundreds of species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction.
5. Other species have a right to existence.
6. Extinction can be a natural evolutionary process but a lot of it - especially if it occurs at a faster than natural rate - is caused by humans.
7. Many species have become extinct because of large-scale land clearing carried out and the commercialization of agriculture.
8. Biodiversity
must be preserved at all costs and measures taken to ensure more
species don’t become
extinct.
9. Humans have the
power to affect our environment more than any other species and
with this power comes responsibility. If we continue to abuse the
earth by deforestation, over-fishing, hunting and large scale land
clearing, we will cause irreparable
damage.
11. Scientists have long taken their inspiration from nature. Every time a species becomes extinct, scientists forever lose an opportunity to make a new discovery.
12. The goal is to restore all endangered and threatened species to the point where they are again viable, self-sustaining members of their ecological communities.
13. It is imperative for governments of developed and developing nations to adopt more environmentally friendly policies.
14. Quite apart from the fact that we actually need some of these animals, birds and insects to ensure our environment remains habitable to us humans.

备考思路:
1. Introduction:Topic + Your Response
When facing the problem of animal extinctions, people have different views about whether or not we should care much more about this problem than that of our human beings. In my opinion, when we human beings preserve endangered animals we should also focus on our human problems.
2. Body Paragraph 1:Benefits of Preserving Endangered Animals
-- prevent extinction:Once an animal goes extinct, its benefit to the food chain and the natural balance of the ecosystem is gone forever.
-- ensure the biodiversity (that is necessary for the ecological health of the planet):For nature, biodiversity allows an ecosystem to function well and recover from natural disasters quickly. For humans, biodiversity also offers more choices in cropping, farming and the possibility of discovering new medicines. When an animal becomes endangered, the delicate ecological balance between predators and prey within an ecosystem is upset, sometimes making that system more vulnerable to population explosions of invasive species.
3. Body Paragraph 2:Benefits of Focusing on Our Human Problems
4. Conclusion:Repeat Your
Response

文章组织:
1. 文章背景:几个世纪以来,人类的扩张已经导致了世界上无数物种的灭绝。For centuries, the large-scale expansion of human beings has given rise to the extinction of many species in the world.
2. 正方观点:因此出现了很多动物保护主义者,他们认为人类应当不惜一切代价保护动物免受灭绝。In consequence, there arise many animal rights activists, who claim that mankind should protect wild animals at any cost lest they disappeared.
3. 反方观点:然而,反对者则认为,动物保护应当以保护人类自身的利益作为前提。However, opponents argue that animals should be conserved only when people’s own needs are satisfied.
4. 文章结构:本文将分析这两种观点。This essay will analyse both points of view.
II. Body 1:动物保护的重要性
1. 总论点:保护濒危物种是非常必要的,因为它们的存在给人类带来的无穷的好处。Conserving endangered species is essential, as their existence has brought numerous benefits to human beings.
2. 分论点1:野生动物是脆弱的生态系统中的一个重要组成部分,一种物种的灭绝会带来其它物种的相继灭绝。Wild animals are essential components of the delicate ecosystem, and the extinction of one species is likely to cause the disappearance of another.
3. 论据:数百年来人类肆无忌惮的扩张已经侵犯了野生动物的领地,使得很多动物无家可归,濒临灭绝。生态平衡被打破的后果是灾难性的,因此保护濒危物种迫在眉睫。The reckless expansion of human beings in the recent centuries has invaded the territories of wildlife, rendering many animals homeless and endangered. The consequences of the disrupted ecological balance are catastrophic, so it is imperative to conserve endangered species.
4. 分论点2:生物多样性是人类最宝贵的资产。Biodiversity is one of the most valuable assets that humanity possesses.
5. 论据:很多发明都是人类从动物中获得灵感的结果,比如鸟类让人类发明了飞机,蝙蝠使人类发明了雷达。Many inspirations of inventions derived from various animals, for instance, aeroplanes, which originated from the Wright bothers’ careful observation and examination of birds, and radar, whose working principle is the same to that of bats.
6. 小结:因此野生动物的存在是人类得以不断生存和发展的动力。Thus, wild animals are the incentive of the existence and development of the human race.
III. Body 2:满足人类利益的重要性
1. 论点:然而,在很多国家,特别是一些发展中国家,人类的基本利益都没有得到很好的满足。贫困、饥荒、疾病、自然灾害,正在威胁着这个世界上的每一个公民。However, in some countries, especially developing countries, the basic interests of human beings have not been satisfied. Poverty, famine, epidemics, natural disasters are posing a severe threat to many citizens of the world.
2. 如果政府有限的预算都被投入到动物保护领域,很多人将会面临生存困难。If the limited government budget is allocated to animal conservation, many people will face huge difficulty making a living.
3. 因此对于这些国家来说,保护好人的基本权利才是当务之急。Therefore, protecting basic human rights should be the top priority of these countries.
IV. Conclusion
1. 重申观点1:动物保护是至关重要的,因为它是人类生存与未来发展的基础。In conclusion, protecting wildlife is of great significance, as it is a vital cornerstone of the survival and future development of mankind.
2. 重申观点2:但是动物保护的巨额资金不是每一个国家可以承担的。Nevertheless, the huge financial cost of animal conservation is not what every country can afford.
3.
解决方法:因此,动物保护需要每一个国家的参与,发达国家应当给予发展中国家资金上的支持,以确保动物与人的和平共处。Therefore,
endangered animal species can be conserved only when every country
on the planet makes its own effort. Developed countries should
provide financial aid to their poor counterparts in order to ensure
the peaceful coexistence of animals and human
beings.
