Both the article and the lecture offer two opposing views on controlling the declining and extincting population of frog species. While the text details about how the frogs are essential for ecosystems and gives three solutions to address this decline, the lecturer totally repudiates this claim of the article and rejects these solutions. She thinks that these arguments have problems and are not practical to implement.
First of all, the text mentions that pesticides used in agriculture fields spread to neighboring frog areas and lead to respiration issues in frogs, so the use of pesticides should be banned in fields near frog sensitive areas. In contrary, the lecturer posits that banning pesticides is neither economical nor fair as farmers use pesticides to increase their crops yield and quality. Additionally, regulating the pesticides only in frog sensitive areas would put those farmers on high disadvantage in comparison to the farmers whose fields are not near these zones. Consequently, it can indeed be argued that the claim made in the reading is unsubstantiated.
Besides this, the article goes on to state that growing fungus is another cause of the frogs decline and the frogs should be treated with antifungal medicines on large scale. The lecturer, however, refutes this by mentioned that large scale treatment on every infected from is highly impractical. In addition to this, the infection may pass to offspring and the treatment has to be repeated for them also. Clearly, there is a disparity exists between the reading and the arguments put forth by the professor.
Finally, the text contends that the frogs habitats in the form of lakes and wetlands decline due to abuse of these water resources by humans. Although, the lecturer acknowledges the need to protect water resources as a noble idea, she believes that text does not consider the main reason for this decline of water habitats. As per her, it the global warming and not the humans which is the main threat to these habitats. Subsequently, we need to be working towards addressing the threat of global warming.
To summarize, while both the reading and the lecture provide interesting information with regard to addressing the frogs numbers decline, a significant amount of evidence support that professor stated more legitimate and tangible factors. Thus, the reading passage fails to justify the claim towards her.
