The article claims that the "let it burn" policy was not good. For the 1988 forest fires in Yellowstone national park, which have not been controlled in the first place as a result of the "let it burn" policy, caused serious problems. Problems include the tremendous damage of the forest, mascarade of small animals, and the decrease in the number of tourists after the fire. However, the professor thinks that the "let it burn" policy has its good impact on the environment. She refuses the statement in the article by three points.
First, the scorched area in Yellowstone is the heaven of small plants and animals now. The ashes of old big plants became the nutrition of small plants. And the later could have more space to grow.
Second, small animals began to nourish after the vegetation of these scorched areas. As soon as the vegetation came back, small animals, like rabbits and hares, could obtain sufficient food at this region. Furthermore, the proliferate of small mammals provide food for larger predators, which came back to the land as well.
Third, more and more tourists came back to Yellowstone after the fire. The decrease of tourism was just a temporary thing. In other words, as long as the catastrophes like the big fire do not happen, people would continue traveling to Yellowstone.
All in all, the professor suggests that the "let it burn" policy has a creative impact on the local environment.
