The main idea of both the passage and the lecture are about how can avoid to spreading of cane toads across Australia? In this line of thought, the reading states that preventing to prevalent of cane toads and describe some solutions. The lecturer, on the other hand, casts doubt on all the three episodes of arguments mentioned in the passage, believing that none of these strategies are practical and lead to the real world. In the rest of the passage, a comparison between them is provided.
First of all, the reading and the listening materials talk about to build a national fence which means the blocks which placed the front of the toads to prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. On the contrary, the lecturer believes this solution can sum up a few amounts of cane toads because young toads and toad eggs find in rivers and streams. No matter where the fence is located, at some point there are rivers or streams flowing from one side to the other.
Second, both the text and the talk discuss the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. The author points out that cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even capture by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy since they restrict to the water. Therefore, the author elaborates that if the Australian government organizes a campaign among Australian to citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading. However, the lecturer notes that these untrained volunteers would inadvertently destroy many of Australia's native frogs. Some of which endanger. It's not always easy to tell the cane toad apart from native frogs especially when the young. This was another place where experience contradicted the theory.
Eventually, a disease-causing virus which discussed by both the passage and the lecture. The author mentions that although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it doesn’t harm most of the infected species; it specifically harms only the cane toads. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She states that Australian reptiles and amphibians often transport to other continents by researchers or pet collectors for example. Once the animals infected by the virus reach Central and South America, the virus attacks the native cane toads and devastate their populations. That would be an ecological disaster because in the America cane toads are a native species and a vital part of the ecosystem. This opinion directly contradicts the passage presented and making it infeasible.
Sum up, although the passage provides some solutions to preventing from spreading out cane toads population, the lecture opposes about the effectiveness and possibility of those reasons.
