In this set of material, the passage and the lecture offer two opposing points of view about the "let it burn" policy. While the passage lists three drawbacks of this policy, the lecture refutes these three disadvantages and argues the advantages of "let it burn" policy.
First, the article declares that the forest fire in Yellowstone caused tremendous damage to park"s trees and other vegetations. But the lecture contradicts this remark by explaining how the fire created an opportunity for other kinds of vegetations to grow. she emphasizes that the fire made the environment suitable for a variety of vegetation to grow in two ways. first, there is a kind of seed that needs a high temperature to flourish. Second, the vacant land lets the vegetations like grass thrives.
In addition, the passage claims that the fire caused an enormous damage in the number of animals inhabiting there in two ways, either they have been destroyed in the fire or because their habitat destroyed, they have migrated to other places. On the other hand, the speaker argues that according to the growth of different vegetations, the number of rabbits and hare have increased and that leads to an increase in the number of their predators.
Finally, the author asserts that the Yellowstone Park is no more attracts tourists and that leads to a decrease in the local economy. However, the speaker refutes this point by arguing that the fire was an unusual thing caused by low rainfall and rapid winds. she says the fire is not an annual thing. Actually, there has not been a fire since then, and today tourists are visiting the park.
