The protection of the environment is specifically needed for the proper functioning of the
various beneficial activities that are needed to be achieved by the human beings who have been
residing on the surface of the earth. According to a report by the World Health Organization or
WHO, almost 4.2 million deaths occur globally due to the exposure of the concern ed people to
the outdoor air-pollution while the exposure to household smoke takes a toll on 3.8 million
people all over the world (Who.int 2018).
The failures in environment protection result from the ulterior motives of the government
to gain the advantages on the economic as well as the political front. The numerous organizations
that have been operating within the territories of the world.
The following essay discusses two major factors that are related to the depreciation in the
environment are the factors that pertain to the air pollution and the deforestation that has been

Body paragraph 1
Argument
The air pollution results from the release of the poisonous gases and other gaseous
pollutants into the earth atmosphere. The various governmental authorities active all over the
world have been trying to deal with the huge amount of the air pollution that is increasing with
the passing days. However, the majority of the efforts of the governmental bodies have been
failing. The major reason behind the failure might be attributed to the fact that these
governmental bodies have been facing a huge amount of inactivities in the process of
implementing the various measures that are needed in order to control the factors that pertain to
the spread of the pollutants in the air (Volk et al. 2013).
Counter Argument
These failures result from the ulterior motives of the government to gain the advantages
on the economic as well as the political front. The numerous organizations that have been
operating within the territories of the world. Shang et al. (2013) opine that the unethical scandals
that are related to the various organizations operative within the global boundaries might be
related to the emission of the air pollutants and the other harmful gases into the atmosphere. The
various companies in the market have been reported to have adopted the various methods that
might be implemented in order to control the emission of the various poisonous gases like carbon
dioxide and the other such pollutant gases.
Refutation
On the other hand, the other critics like Zhang et al. (2016) state that the various developing
countries with a greater amount of population and a greater amount of growth on the basis of the
economy of the country. These developing countries have also put forth the various

4ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION - UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS
developments in the fields that pertain to the controlling of the pollution that is caused due to the
contamination of the air by the polluting factors that are released from the various factories and
other polluting elements. The governmental bodies that are active in the various countries all
over the world, especially the developing countries have been observed to put forth the measures
that are required to deal with the control of the air pollution and the polluting agents. The
numerous critics and the environmental activists are found to have been very supportive of the
corrective measures that are implemented by the governmental bodies that have been present all
over the world and especially in the developing countries.
Concluding statement
The various business organizations and the non-profit organizations have been working
alongside the governmental bodies in order to bring about a change in the present scenario
related to the pollution in the atmosphere. The governmental authorities might be advised to
include the residents of the country along with the organizations in order to deal with the issues
that pertain to the pollute atmosphere in the concerned countries.
Body paragraph 2
Argument
The other major environmental issues that might have been prevalent all over the world
refer to the issue of deforestation. The majority of the developing countries of the world depend
on the improvement and the growth of the industries that are needed for the overall development
of the country. These might also include the improvement of the economical strength of the
concerned state as well as the strengthening of the position that is held by the concerned country
in the world economy. The developing countries are often observed to have been using up the

land space in order to build up the industrial lands that might help in the economic and the
political growth of the concerned country (Boucher, Roquemore and Fitzhugh 2013).
Inspite of the huge amounts of concerned that were put forth by the environmentalists and
the various governmental authorities, the issues that pertain to the deforestation within the
concerned areas. There has been observed a severe lack of the understanding on the part of the
citizens of the various developing countries of the world. The issue of deforestation has been
increasing at an alarming rate with the less-educated citizens of the countries taking part in the
deforestation of the large areas of the countries in order to set up the industries. The wood
collected from the deforested area is often sold to the buyers via the illegal means and measures.
This has been a huge concern for the global environmentalists who have been preaching highly
against the ill-effects of the practice of deforestation (Ahmed et al. 2015).
Counter Argument
The governmental bodies of these developing countries are often seen to have been
reluctant in the implementation of the various measures that might help in the reduction of the
deforestation that might have been taking place within various developing countries of the world.
The inaction of the government might be attributed to the implementation of the urbanization as
well as the development of the nation as a whole. The governmental inaction might help the
concerned business organization in order to help in the industrialization and the urbanization of
the concerned areas within the developing nations of the world (Hargrave and Kis-Katos 2013).
Refutation
However, the various scholars on the matter further point out that the government and the
business organizations and the non-profit organizations have been working alongside the
governmental bodies in order to bring about a change in the present scenario related to the

6ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION - UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS
deforestation that has been taking place all over the world. The developing countries have been
observed to have been unable to deal with the issue of deforestation in an effective manner.
Concluding statement
The developing countries of the world have been advised to put forth the various matters
that lead to the education of the residents of the country in the matters pertaining to the negative
effects of deforestation.
Conclusion
Thus, from the above discussion it might be pointed out that the governmental bodies as
well as the business and non-profit organizations have not yet been successful in the matters that
pertain to the control and the eradication of the malpractices that lead to the air pollution as well
as the act of deforesting the huge areas of land in order to bring about an urbanization in the
country. The failures in environment protection result from the ulterior motives of the
government to gain the advantages on the economic as well as the political front. The numerous
organizations that have been operating within the territories of the world. The governmental
bodies as well as the various other organizations must be advised to encourage the acts of
afforestation and make campaigns in order to teach the concerned citizens regarding the ill-
effects of the deforestation. The governmental bodies might introduce the various vehicles that
run on CNG or the compressed natural gas or the rechargeable batteries and the solar power in
order to avoid the release of the toxic gases and particles in the atmosphere thereby controlling
the air pollution that has been prevalent in the current society.
