Both reading and lecture propose some methods to decrease the recent decline of frog population. The lecturer states that the solutions that the reading exposes are not practical, and he proposes different methods to slow down the decline of the frog population.
First, the reading suggests that pesticides used in farmland, which inevitably, spread into the neighboring frog habitats, harm the frog population. The lecturer contends that banning pesticide by law would cause an economic problem, and is unfair because this would create a disadvantage for farmers, who would be less competitive with those using pesticides.
Second, the reading mentions a treatment to prevent fungus infection, which causes thickening of the skin that leads frogs to die from dehydration. The lecturer rebuts this by saying that this method is not practical and expensive because this method has to be applied singularly on each individual, furthermore, this treatment does not prevent to pass the infection to the offspring, and therefore, it needs to be applied repeatedly through generations.
Third, the lecturer believes that the real threat of frog population is the global warming and it is not the loss of habitats as states by the reading, reduce the use of water by humans would not prevent the threat at of global warming.
