The reading and the lecture are both about the declining population of frog species around the world. The author of the article proposes three solutions to save the frog population. However, the lecturer cast doubt about the claim mentions in the article and refutes all the theories presented in the articles. He says that the presented ideas are not practically possible.
First of all, according to the reading, chemicals use such as pesticides should be prohibited near the frog habitats. On the contrary, the speaker negates the argument presented in the passage. Furthermore, he discusses that the prohibition on the use of pesticides is not fair enough, because farmers widely lie on pesticides to stay competitive in the market. Also, farmers who could not use the pesticides would lose more crops compared to the other farmers who use pesticides for their farm and crops.
Secondly, the author posits that researchers can save the frog population with the help of anti fungal medicines. This treatment would be very protective to frogs if applied on a large scale. Although the lecturer refutes this by asserting that it is extremely hard to capture each frog for treatment. Additionally, this method cannot stop spreading the fungal infection to the next generation, which means researchers have to treat them again and again. Hence, this method is very expensive and complicated.
Finally, reading claims that people can recover the frog population by protecting frogs threatened habitats such as lakes and marshes. On the other hand, the speaker believes that the true reason that threatens the frog's habitats is global warming rather than human activities. Global warming has been contributed to the disappearance of many water habitats and many entire species became extinct. Thus, it is not possible to save the entire population of frog without preventing global warming.
