The most dramatic of them are [blank_start]climate[blank_end] [blank_start]change[blank_end], [blank_start]pollution[blank_end], [blank_start]nuclear[blank_end] issues, the issue of [blank_start]waste[blank_end], [blank_start]resource[blank_end] [blank_start]depletion[blank_end] which includes deforestation and [blank_start]biodiversity[blank_end] which is closely connected with animal and plant species becoming [blank_start]extinct[blank_end] and the problem of preserving [blank_start]endangered[blank_end] [blank_start]species[blank_end] on the planet.
