The article and the lecture are about frog species which present a decline in their population due to several changes in their environment. The author in the reading believes that the consequences of declining frog population can be solved by some methods proposed in the article. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made by the author. She thinks that these techniques may be practical at all.
First, the author claims that due to the fact that pesticides harm frogs in several environments in which they used by farmers, a practical solution would be to prohibit the use of this type of chemicals by farming. Nevertheless, this idea is challenged by the lecturer. She argues that this possible solution would be not economic and produce a decrease of competition in marketing because farmers who follow this law, may have more disadvantages than those who continue using pesticides in their crops.
Second, the article posits that another solution for the decline of frog population would be a treatment that kills fungus with heat because they cause dehydration among frogs and eventually end in death. Nonetheless, the lecturer rebuts this proposal by saying that the application of this treatment would be complicated. Furthermore, she points out that this solution involves to catch every frog in an environment and also this treatment should be applied several times since it would be beneficial for each generation.
Finally, the author mentions that the decline of the frog population is because of human activities. Therefore, she states that controlling excessive water use and development may be a practical solution. The lecturer, on the other hand, puts forth the idea that the biggest cause of this issue is global warming. So, these methods are unlikely to improve the frog population’ decline unless global warming changes.
