In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations.
First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs.
A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection.
Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
The author in the passage states that many frog species around the world have declined and gone extinct due to changes in their environment and the author also proveides three method to protect the frogs. However, the professor in the lecture says that none of the methods is practical and challenges each of the methods those are given by the author.
First, the reading claims that as the frongs are declining due to the pestiecides, which are used in the farm land, limitation on the using pesticide will be a method to solve the problem. Notwithstanding, the professor in the lecture refutes this point by saying that this is not economically feasible. If the governments give regulations regarding the use of pesticides, then the farmers will not able to use their required amount of chemicals to the farm. Therefore, they will not get the proper yeild from their farmland. As a result, there is a possibility to have a loss on agriculture, so the method is not applicable.
Second, the passage posits that another major factor of declining frog population is due to the fungus infectin, so treatment to eliminate these fungus is another method to inhibit the declination. On the contrary, the professor repudiates this method also and tells that there are several problem and complexities regarding he method. According to the professor, for the treatment of the fungul infection, we need to consider every individual frogs, which is a tough job. Moreover, the offsrping may carry the infection, so we need to give treatment to each of the offspring, which is a complex procedure.
Third, the article mentions that frogs are dicling because of destruction of their habitat, so recovering of thier habitat is the another method of solution. Nevertheless, the professor opposes this sotion too and says that frogs are actually declining due to global warming, not for the habitat limitaion. The professor explains that many wet land animals are declining because of global warming, so frogs is also declining for this reason. As a result, providing he sufficient habitat for the frog will not help us to stop the frog declination.
