The reading passage discusses an interesting topic about the decline of the Torreya taxifoha, since 1950, and provides intensive information and three options about how to protec this specie. However, the lecturer casts doubt on every suggestion the author of the reading passage propones to save the tree.
First of all, the reading passage suggests to reestablish the tree in its native location as it was thousands of years ago. According to the reading passage, this loation presents a unique microclimate that is optime for Torreya. This point is challenged by the lecturer by explaining that that particular microclime, located in the northern part of Florida, doesn't exist anymore. In fact, global warming and Florida drain could be the causes of this unfortunately phenomena according to the lecture.
Secondly, the reading passage proposes to move Torreya to a cooler location further north where a better climate could reinsert the tree susseccfully. On the contrary, the lecturer disagrees with this idea because this relocation could provoke an ecologic dissaster. To illustrate this issue, the lecturer brings up the example of a specie that, after its relocation, started to grown uncontolably killing many other species around.
Finally, the author of the reading passages sustains the idea of preserve Torreya in research centers with monitored environment to ensure the survival of the specie. On the contrary, the lecturer argues that this option is imposible to implemment as the centers have not the capacity to sustain the life of the tree for a long term.
