In the past century, the steady growth of the human population and the corresponding increase in agriculture and pesticide use have caused much harm to wildlife in the United States—birds in particular. Unfortunately for birds, these trends are likely to continue, with the result that the number of birds in the United States will necessarily decline.
First, as human populations and settlements continue to expand, birds’ natural habitats will continue to disappear. Forests, wetlands, and grasslands will give way to ever more homes, malls, and offices. As the traditional areas suitable for birds keep decreasing, so will the size of the bird populations that depend on those vanishing habitats.
Second, agricultural activities must increase to keep pace with the growing human population. The growth of agriculture will also result in the further destruction of bird habitats as more and more wilderness areas are converted to agricultural use. As a result, bird populations in rural areas will continue to decline.
Third, as human settlements expand and agriculture increases, the use of chemical pesticides will also increase. Pesticides are poisons designed to kill agricultural and home garden pests, such as insects, but inevitably, pesticides get into the water and into the food chain for birds where they can harm birds. Birds that eat the poisoned insects or drink contaminated water can die as a result, and even if pesticides do not kill birds outright, they can prevent them from reproducing successfully. So pesticides have significantly contributed to declines in bird population, and because there will continue to be a need to control agricultural pests in the future, this decline will continue.
The passage is arguing that the number of birds in the united states is declining for some reason. However, the professor explained that none of those reasons mentioned in the passage are convincing.
First, the passage has claimed that the birds' habitats are disappearing by expanding the urban areas. In contrast, the professor explained, the passage's claim is true, but it is not all the story, and growing urban areas creates a better and larger habitat for some kinds of birds. As a result, people are complaining about the birds' population in urban areas. So, expanding urban areas may shrink the population of some birds, but increases the population of the other birds.
Second, the passage has asserted that agricultural activities have caused in decreasing the bird's population, but the professor said: the lands are using for agriculture are becoming less and less also, some crops that are planting produce much food in a small land. So, they do not need more land to cultivate.
Third, the passage has expressed that using chemical pesticides that are poisonous harms birds. In contrast, the professor mentioned that new and less toxic pesticides are using in agriculture also, some plants are resistant to pesticides, so those plants are not harmful to birds.
