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.
TPO48IntegratedTask-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 author is of the opinion that because of environmental issues, the major part of frog’s population have been dismantled and presents three reasons with suggested solutions for solving this problems. On the other hand, the professor states that these reasons and solutions are actually not convincing and practical. She refutes each of the reasons.
First, the reading claims that chemical components that using in agricultural disease preventing caused the decrease in frog’s population and proposed that use of these components should be banned. However, the speaker says that this solution is not fair and economic because it not competitive in the market.
Second, the article states that the fungus creates harmful effects on frog’s skin thickness and brings them die of moister and water shortage. Then asserts that scientists find remedies against these bad affects and it should be extensively utilized on frogs as a preventing method. Conversely, the lecturer contends that these new treatments are should use individually to each frog in each generation repeatedly. By this reason it is expensive and complicated method and will not work effieciently.
Third, the author mentions that natural ecosystem of frogs are almost consist of water but because of overuse of water resources by human, these ecosystems are exhausted of water. So, the frog’s habitats are diminished and if these locations were protected from human harmful activities, the problem will be solved. On the contrary, the professor asserts that these solution will not save the frogs due to the fact that the water shortage was consequent of global warming not human usage. With this in mind, preventing rules cannot stop this phenomena.
