The reading and the listening passages are both about “let it burn” policy. While the reading passage provides three kinds of damage that this policy did, the professor says it is not.
First of all, the writer mentions that Yellowstone fires in 1988 caused tremendous damage to vegetation. However, the lecturer contends that the fire is a natural fundamental good one because it created diversity. Also, once the bug trees burned, the small plants start to grow. Moreover, the seeds did not burn, so it grew again.
Secondly, the author states that the park wildlife was affected because of the fire. The lecturer rebuts this point by saying there was a new ideal habitat for small animals such as rabbit, which attracted predators to Yellowstone.
Finally, the article says that the fires had negative consequences in the economic sates of the surrounding businesses. The professor refutes this point. She adds that it happened only once in 1988 and it has never happened again. Also, the tourist started to come again in the next year. Thus, as the lecturer says this is not true.
To conclude, the lecturer debunks all the three points on the reading passage.
