3. Governments often create national parks to protect wildlife and encourage conservation. Do you think governments are doing enough to protect animals in their natural habitat? Do you think governments have to take more forceful action to protect animals? Write an opinion essay.

Solución: Sample answer: In recent decades, global biodiversity has experienced an alarming decline due to deforestation, climate change, and poaching. Although governments have established protected areas, I strongly believe current policies remain insufficient to safeguard wildlife. Firstly, many national parks exist only on paper. They often lack adequate funding, modern monitoring technology, and sufficient rangers to prevent illegal hunting and habitat destruction. Consequently, endangered species continue to be threatened even within designated sanctuaries. Secondly, stricter legislation is urgently needed. Authorities should impose harsher legal penalties on corporations that destroy natural ecosystems for industrial agriculture or urban expansion. Furthermore, governments ought to invest more in rewilding initiatives and ecological corridors that connect fragmented habitats. In conclusion, creating reserves is no longer enough. Only decisive political commitment and stricter enforcement of environmental laws will ensure that endangered animals can survive peacefully in their natural environments.
