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 reding passage states that due to the increase in human populations and corresponding changes in in agriculture, constructions in cities and using persticides, the population of birds faced obstacles and there will be fewer birs in future. However, professor in the lecure casts doubt on the points made in the reading.
First, considering the article, the natural habitats of birds are being destroyed as human settelments expand. In contrast, the professor in the lecture contadicts the idea and further explains that although some birds habitat are grwoing to shrink, others are going to grow. For example,the population of birds like pigeons is increased as the cities grew and it leaded to increase in Hulk's population too.
Second, the reading claims that increase in agricultural activities is causing more wilderness areas to destroy, consequently leading to disappearing of birds habitats. On the contrary, the professor in the lecture refutes the information presented in the article and makes the point that in the future. there will be less agricultural areas, since new corps have been found which will provide more food, using less agricultural area, Hence there will be no need to destroy wilderness areas.
Third, the author in the reading passage puts forward the idea that chemical pesticides using for garden pests, affected the birds too and they can not reproduct successfully anymore. On the other hand, the speaker contradicts the idea and adds up that people are now aware of the results of chemical pesticides. Therefore, there will be less toxic chemicals used in pesiticides, and more importantly, the new pest resistants will have no harm to birds.
