The passage and lecture both discuss three statements about a process which is the kind of damage caused by "let it burn" policy. The reading states that this policy caused a large scale of damage whereby people are demanding to replace it by a policy of extinguishing forest fires as soon as they appeared, and they gave three kinds of damage caused by the "let it burn" policy to support their claim. However, the professor in the lecture explains that this policy can be beneficial with a creative role, and refutes each point made in the article.
First, the reading claims that "let it burn" lead to a devastating damage to the park's trees and vegetation. However, the lecture invalidates this point by explaining that after the 1988 Yellowstone fire, the vegetation became more diverse. It created opportunity for certain plants to grow, by which the areas destroyed by trees became a suitable environment for small vegetation to raise. Another example would be some seeds which germinate only by high temperatures.
Second, the reading posits that Yellowstone fires caused a great damage to the wildlife. The lecturer looked at the fires from different perspective by which those fires created new opportunities as well. The growth of small plants created an ideal habitat for small animals like rabbits. If those animals thrive, the food chain will become extremely affected, whereby now it became more powerful.
Finally, the reading asserts that the fires reduced tourists attraction to the area, and it had negative impact on local economy and businesses. On the other hand, the lecture explained 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.
