Essay topics: In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations.
First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs.
A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection.
Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
The reading asserts that there is a declination in the frog population which causes many problems to human's life, and make suggestions to solve this problem. The lecturer, however, finds the idea dubious and casts doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
To start with, the author argues that the fact that pesticides harm frogs because they are chemicals used in farmlands, so it would be a considerable call to reduce their consumption in farmlands. Conversely, the speaker brings up the fact that reduction in using pesticides is not an economical and fair option because the farmers who have farmlands with frogs and insects lose their competitiveness. they rely on those chemicals to earning money and will end up in a savior disadvantage.
Furthermore, the writer of the passage holds the view that a kind of fungus makes damage to the frog's skin and leading it to death. it will be helpful if some kind of treatments applies on the frogs. In contrast, the speaker underlines the fact that applying treatments on frogs will be expensive and very complicated because they have to do the treatments individually on frogs, and since the fungus can get on frog's eggs it should be repetitive.
Finally, it is stated in the reading that human water usage is a threat to frog's habitats. As a result, frogs lose their natural habitats, and their population declines. On the contrary, the lecturer dismisses this issue due to the fact that global warming is the main reason of water shortage in lakes and marshes which are frog's habitats. She maintains that even by reducing human use of water the water disappearance will go on.
