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 asmore 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 ofchemical 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. Sopesticides 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 main idea of the both the reading and the listening is about the birds population. With in this mind, the author claims that human population and activities are declined the number of the birds in the United states by providing three kinds of these activities to support it. However, the lecturer categorically refutes all the reasons stated in the reading passage.
First, both the text and the talk discuss about the expansion of the human settlement and population. In this regard, the reading passage belief that this expansion have destroyed the birds natural habitat. Therefore, will decrease the number of the birds in the future. Conversely, the professor admit this is true just for some type of the birds, but other have benefits from this explanation. She explains that cities provides better and bigger habitat for some of them. Consequently, beside this expansion hurt some bird number, it will increase other too.
Second, both the reading and the lecture material put forth the idea of the agricultural activities. In this vein, the reading passage states that growing human population caused increase in agricultural activities which finally will destroy the bird habitats like what we seen the birds population continuously decline in rural areas. However, the lecturer says that every year fewer and fewer lands are used for agricultural way.
Third, both the reading and the lecture discuss about the chemical pesticides. In this way of thought, the reading passage demonstrated that chemical pesticides get into the water and so forth in the food chain and therefore harm the bird population. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes this notion, citing that people so understand the dangerous of the traditional pesticides, Therefore, less toxin pesticide are used every pass year and agriculture graving past resist crop.
