The reading and the lecture are both about a decline in the number of birds in the United States. The reading asserts that growing pace of human population and the resultant attempts of satisfying their demands have an adverse effect on the number of the wildlife, more specifically on birds. By contrast, the lecturer finds the claim unconvincing and provides three conspicuous reasons.
First of all, the reading points out that birds’ conventional habitats are diminishing due to the construction needed to provided settlements for humans. However, this point is challenged by the professor. She says that the decrease of habitat is only happening for some types of birds. In effect, the number of habitats for other birds is increasing in number and size. For example, there is an augment in the number of seagulls and pigeons. Surprisingly, new species of birds are even reported to be seen in these areas, namely hawks and falcons.
Secondly, the author contends that the growing destruction of birds habitat in order to make new agricultural fields is another driver of this phenomenon. The professor converts this claim by suggesting that the number of lands dedicating to agricultural fields is decreasing per annum. Owing to the fact that new crops are being produced which will lead to harvesting more fruits.Therefore, there is no need for more destruction of the natural environment.
Finally, the author states that the expansion of population also has resulted in an increment in the use of pesticides, which in turn, contaminated the food source of birds, resulting in their death or sterilization. On the contrary, the lecturer posits that people becoming more aware of the negative effects of pesticides and also crops becoming more resistant to pest will, fortunately, lead to marked reduction in the use of this chemical substance. Hence, fewer birds are going to be affected by this poisonous substance.
