In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations.
First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs.
A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection.
Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
The article and the lecture both deal with strategies to prevent extinction of frogs. Whilst the author proposes three possible solutions, the lecturer contradicts his arguments respectively.
First, according to the reading passage, prohibiting usage of pesticides can protect the frogs from decline. In contrast, the professor argues that the disadvantage of this solution is that farmers who are not allow to use pesticides will suffer from loss of crops and lower yell, which is unfair for them.
Second, the writer states that frogs can be protected by using antifungal medication and treatments. However, the speaker questions this argument by saying that this solution complicated and expensive as they need to treat each individual frog. Furthermore, she adds that the treatment can not prevent the fungus passing to the offsprings, therefore, it is not an efficient strategy.
Last but not lease, the author posits that protecting habitats of frogs by prohibiting excessive water use can save frog populations. As opposed to the writer, the lecturer points out that the major threaten to water habitats is global warming, rather than excessive water use. Thus, it will not effectively protect the frogs dwellings.
As we can see, the author and lecture hold very different views on how to protect frog populations.
