In this set of the materials, the author of the reading passage expresses three reasons that the number of birds in the United States will necessarily decline. However, the professor thinks that the author’s theories contain some defects.
First of all, the author claims that human populations and settlements continue to expand, and it would cause the decrease of the bird populations that depend on these vanishing habitats. On the contrary, the professor indicates that urban development may cause some type of birds decrease, whereas, it will increase some species of birds. Because some city dweller birds such as pigeons and rodents will increase, it would raise up the numbers of falcons and cocks, which prey on pigeons and rodents.
In addition, the author states that the growth of agriculture will result destruction of bird habitats, hence, bird populations in rural areas will decline. However, the professor asserts that in the United Stated, there are less and less lands for agriculture activities due to introducing new crops technology. Thank to this new technology, per unit of yield of the new crops is increased. Therefore, it unnecessarily needs lands for agricultures.
Finally, the author raises the point that the use of chemical pesticides will influence the populations of birds due to pesticides get into the water and into the food chain for birds where they can harm birds. On the other hand, the professor refutes the author’s idea by proposing that now, people are aware of the consequence of the pesticides will affect bird populations. Therefore, some people figure out two solutions. One is that new pesticides contain less poison than the past. Another is that growing more pest-resistance crops. It won’t harm birds at all.
