The author and the lecturer both discuss "let it burn" policy and its consequences. The reading use example of forest fire in Yellostone national park to illustrate that "let it burn" policy has three significant damages and it should supersede with a policy of extinguishing forest fire to suppress flames as soon as possible. However, the lecturer refutes this claim, casting doubt on every single point made by the author.
First, while the reading passage mentions that one third of the Yellostone’s land had been scorched because of the fire, the professor believes that a fire is always an opportunity for new plant species to colonize and thrive. For instance, in the scorch areas, the trees were replaced with the new smaller plants required open and unshaded space to grow. Plus, because of the high temperature some seeds gained the chance to germinate and become new plants.
In addition, the reading makes the argument that many animals in the forest run away such as deer and some small animal could not able to escape. Moreover, the food supplies completely destroy. Conversely, the lecture states its similar story with the animals and not the population recover but also the fire create lots of opportunity in the Yellowstone. For example, some species such as rabbits to start surviving that depends on predator's food.
Finally, the reading asserts that the fires reduced a tourist attraction to the area, and it had negative impact on local economy and businesses. In contrast, the lecture explains that in the year 1988, there were plentiful of unusual combination of factors like low rainfall, which exaggerated the damage. But those fires do not happen every year. In fact, they have not been occurring since that year and tourists came to visit the next year and each year after that.
