In the United States, it had been common practice since the late 1960s not to suppress natural forest fires. The “let it burn” policy assumed that forest fires would burn themselves out quickly, without causing much damage. However, in the summer of 1988, forest fires in Yellowstone, the most famous national park in the country, burned for more than two months and spread over a huge area, encompassing more than 800,000 acres. Because of the large scale of the damage, many people called for replacing the “let it burn” policy with a policy of extinguishing forest fires as soon as they appeared. Three kinds of damage caused by the “let it burn” policy were emphasized by critics of the policy.
First, Yellowstone fires cause tremendous damage to the parks trees and other vegetation. When the fires finally died out, nearly one third of Yellowstone’s land had been scorched. Trees were charred and blackened from flames and smoke. Smaller plants were entirely incinerated. What had been a national treasure now seemed like a devastated wasteland.
Second, the park wildlife was affected as well. Large animals like deer and elk were seen fleeing the fire. Many smaller species were probably unable to escape. There was also concern than the destruction of habitats and the disruption of food chains would make it impossible for the animals that survived the fire to return.
Third, the fires compromised the value of the park as a tourist attraction, which in turn had negative consequences for the local economy. With several thousand acres of the park engulfed in flames, the tourist season was cut short, and a large number of visitors decided to stay away. Of course, local businesses that depended on park visitors suffered as a result.
The aticle and the lecturer are both about natural forest fires and let it burn policy. The author of the reading thinks that let it burn policy is not good for the plants, animals and tuarisom in yellowstone park. The lecturer challengers the calims made by the author. He thinks that let it burn policy didn't effect on plants, animals and visitors who come to visit this park.
First of all, the author argues that yellowstone fires caused huge damage to the park's trees and vegetation. The article is mention that nearly one third of the park land was burnt and effected because of the fire. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that though the trees burnt because of the fire, it was a great chance to grow new small pland which eas a problem to grow in big shades. Furthermore, he says that the seed wich they want more heat to grow, they grow very fast.
Secondly, the author suggests that this fire kills lot of animal in the park. The article notes that the fire ditroy the animal habitats as well. The lecturer rebusts this argument. He suggest that newly grown plants were become good foods for the small animas like rabbits and hairs. He elborate on this by mentioning that becaues of that it duild up more food chains.
Finally, the author states that this disaster declind the visiters who come to visit the park. In contast, the leecture's position is that this fire does not happen evey year. It happened because of less rain and strong wind of those days. It happened only once there for after the fire again tourist started comming to visit the park.
