pros and cons of the "let it burn" policy in the case of Yellowstone park
The reading and the lecture are both about a natural fire that happened in Yellowstone national park in 1988. The author of the article believes that “let it burn” policy is not a good idea. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. Her position is that such natural fires are beneficial for the forest.
To begin with, the article mentions that in Yellowstone, vegetation and trees had been badly damaged in the fire. The lecturer asserts that natural fires are creative in a forest. In addition, she points out that after the fire in Yellowstone, the vegetation more diverse. Small trees, replaced the tall ones because they had more space to grow. In addition, some plant seeds needed a high level of heat to flourish.
Secondly, the passage states that the fire had a harmful influence on the park’s wildlife, and although some large animals were able to escape the fire, smaller ones were trapped in there, causing problems in food chain and habitat distributions. The lecturer asserts that the animal population is recovered now. By growing new smaller plants, there were new opportunities for smaller animals such as rabbits and hares to reproduce. Consequently, their predators’ population were increased as well, so the food chain got stronger than before.
Finally, the author believes that this fire defaced the tourism value of Yellowstone. The author contends that the local economy faced a challenge because the number of tourists declined in that season. In contrast, the lecturer states the local economy and tourism pattern will change if the fire happens every year, which is not. The low rainfall or strong winds may have intensified the fire in 1988. There has been no fire in the Yellowstone after that, and tourists came back to the area its next year.
