According to the passage, the opponents of the idea of “let it burn” wanted the substitution of this policy with a new policy, to extinguish forest fire as soon as possible, for three major destructive impacts they believe the current policy has on both forests and people. However, the lecturer believes that this policy is not always destructive, but also good in some situation.
First, according to the passage, the vegetation may adversely be influenced by fire. To support this idea, the author points out to the fire in Yellowstone, which caused one-third of the land to be scorched. On the other hand, the lecturer explains that vegetation in scorched land started to be more diverse than before since new trees and plants had the chance to grow in the absence of current trees. To support her claim, the author gives the example of the plants which were able to grow only in open unshaded land.
Second, the passage refers to the large animals’ flee and small animals’ death to explain that the idea of “let it burn” has negative impacts on animals living in forests. However, the lecturer explains that during the years after Yellowstone forest burning, animals’ population has been recovered.
Third, the fire in Yellowstone stopped a large number of tourists from visiting there, by shortening tourist season, which imposed negative impacts on the local economy. Nevertheless, according to the lecture, the phenomena such as fire in Yellowstone usually do not occur every year and this kinds of phenomena has not occurred in this place since 1988. Indeed, Yellowstone is able to attract tourists very soon and maintain local businesses.
