TPO-15 - Integrated Writing Task
The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers' crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build affected fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even stop by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy,since they , to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to the the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
The author proposed three ways to prevent the growing population of the cane toad. Earlier, cane toad was introduced to Australia introduced from America to help the farmers but their growing population is a threat to the other species, so their population needs to stop. In the lecture, speaker oppose the ideas and said the ideas were not convincing.
First method that the author gave, build a national fence that blocks the frogs from moving to those parts that they have not colonized yet. The author hopes this will be a great idea because this method adapted before to prevent the population of rabbits. But the speaker opposes this idea by saying, Cane toad usually lay their eggs in streams like rive, and the streams carry the eggs to the upper side. So, there will be a trivial chance that the eggs of the toads will be captured by the fence.
Another option the author proposed that the cane toads can be captured easily even by the hands. So, if a large group of volunteers captured the toads and destroy their eggs the population of the toad will be within the limit. But, the speaker counters the point by saying, though a large group of people can help to destroy eggs and could kill the toads, there is myriad chance that a group of untrained people can actually destroy endangered species of frogs.
The last option the author provides spread a virus among cane toad. Though the virus can harm other amphibian and reptiles but that would be negligible. The virus acutely harms cane toad. The speaker against the idea because, even though the virus harm cane toad but that also harm the international ecosystem. As, many species of reptiles from Australia transport to America and as the virus also affected the reptiles, if the affected animal transport to the America that virus harm indigent animals and reptiles of America. As the cane toads are originated from America, that virus could destroy the local population of the cane toad, and that would be an economic disaster.
