I have two passages pasted below. They are exactly the same but the order of the sentences is different. Please tell me which is clearer and easily understood in terms of line of reasoning.

1)The countryside is a lost cause. The green fields and
woodlands known as 'green belts' that surround our
cities are essential to maintain the beauty of the
countryside. Over 8 per cent of the countryside is now
built up. Green belts are ever more essential to
provide lungs to our growing cities, helping them to
'breathe'. Unfortunately, the countryside is rapidly
disappearing as the extensive building of new homes
stretches out of the cities. Before long it will be gone
and once that happens, it will be difficult, if not
impossible, ever to restore the complex ecosystems of
lost woodlands and hedgerows.

Should "even more essential " be better than "ever more essential "?
