Lecture and article discusses about strategies to eradicate population of cane toad. They are responsible for reducing the number of small insects by feeding on them. Article talks about three solutions to destroy toad population, however lecturer thinks that measures mentioned in reading might not be effective to kill toad. She gives explanation for holding his opinion on the following essay:
Firstly, article mention to create fence in their habitat in order to prevent migration of large number of toad species to other regions. Lecture casts doubt on the statement made in reading. She thinks that creating boundary might not eliminate the issue, because large numbers of toad population can swim across other places as they reside in rivers, oceans and seas. She also adds that if toad lays few eggs in the river, they are enough to form entire habitat. As a result, she states it is not logical option to create fence.
Secondly, reading states that large number of volunteers should be hired to spot and destroy the toad species. In addition, it would be easier for volunteers to work in confined river where toad species live. Lecture challenges this point made in the lecture. She posits that untrained workers might not be able to differentiate between native species and toad species, as they resemble in physical appearance when they are young. As a consequence, this method might be devastating for the normal frog species.
