The author of the reading discusses the negative effects of the "let it burn" policy and gives three reasons of support. The professor, however, believes that besides its damages, this policy is also creative, and gives 1998 Yellowstone Fire as an example to illustrate this.
First off, the reading states that this policy creates horrible damages to the environment. After Yellowstone Fire, one-third of the land became a wasteland. The lecturer, on the other hand, refutes this. She claims that after that, new plants found an opportunity to grow so, new vegetation emerged. For example, some small plants needed unshaded space to open up and this could not be possible if big trees would have been existing.
According to the article, this policy is also harmful to wildlife. Many wild animal species either escaped from their habitats or died on Yellowstone Fire. The speaker, however, believes that this fire provided some animals such as rabbits with new habitats. They could find places to survive against their predators. As a result, the food chain also became stronger.
Lastly, the passage contends that "let it burn" policy reduced the tourism activities and decreased local economic benefits. The professor opposes this by explaining that if Yellowstone Fire took place every year, this claim would be correct. However, Yellowstone Park attracted tourists as much as before and it continued the same. So, this is not problematic for tourism.
