The author suggests three methods to solve the problem of declining in frogs population around the world. The professor, however, claims that none of those methods offers practical solution in slowing down the decline in frog population.
First, the author proposes that banning harmful pesticides use in farms near sensitive frog population would significantly decrease the risk that pesticides pose for frogs. Yet, the lecturer opposes this idea by stating that reducing pesticides use is neither fair nor practical. She pointed out that farmers rely on pesticides to protect their corps, and prohibiting the usage of pesticides will affect negatively the yield rate of farmers who are near the frog populations compared to the competitors who are not. This indicating that banning pesticides use is not fair solution.
Second ,the passage claims that sensitive frogs population can be protected from fungal infections by applying antifungal medications and other types of treatments . Nevertheless, the professor cast doubt on this point by explaining that these treatments would not prevent the disease from passing among generations, so we should treat every generation which is definitely unpractical and expensive.
Finally, the author suggests that frogs population are in decline because of the excessive water use of lakes and marshes by human activities and if those key habitats are protected, the frogs population would recover. In contrast, the professor opposes this method and explained that human usage of water is not the problem. She puts forth the idea that the global warming is the actual threat for frog natural habitats. Thus protecting those key habitats from excessive human use of water is not going to protect it from global warming that really causes water loss from lakes and marshes.
To sum up, in the lecture the professor disputes every proposition made in the passage to solve the problem of the decline in frog population, and explains that each method has its drawbacks.
