forest fires in Yellowstone "let it burn" policy
The article states that the "let it burn" policy led to the vast damage in 1988 when forests in Yellowstone were burned. Also, the reading says that the police should be replaced by other policy. However, the speaker explains that forest fires are like double-edged sword since they have advantages for both flora and fauna.
To begin with, the passage insists that fires destroyed trees and vegetation. Nonetheless, the lecturer opposes this point by explaining that fires allow to grow new, small plants because of some species cannot grow in shadow. Besides that, there are plants whose seeds should be impacted by high heat to wake up and start growing. Both of them are beneficiaries of fires.
What is more, the reading reports that dees, elks suffer from fire. Furthermore, small species may be unable to escape, that the second negative aspect of fires. Still, the listening contends this point by explaining that animals get new opportunity to develop after fires. According to the speaker, rabbits and hairs eat small plants that are the major vegetations after fires. Those animals attract predators, so fires can create an environment for the development of species that were not able to do it before.
In addition, the article claims that the tourists industry lose a lot of money for fires. It happens because of visitors do not come to the park at the time of fires. Nevertheless, the lecture asserts that massive fires are rare events. In the lecture said that tourists can visit in a year after the fire. So, in the long run, the "let it burn" policy do not pose a risk for tourists potential of regions.
