The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers’ crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad population. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not hard most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
The reading states that Australian farmers to protect farmers' crops by eating harmful insects used the cane toad which is a large amphibian and native to the south and central America. However, in this amphibian, the rate of reproduction is high and now the toad populations are considered a threat for Australian native animals that are not pests. scientists have introduced a couple of methods to avoid the spread of cane toad in Australia. However, the lecturer finds all the idea dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.
First, the author argues that building a national fence is one way to prevent their extension, and this fence will avoid them from moving to the area that they have not colonized yet. Conversely, the professor brings up the idea that some of toads' eggs and off springs are in lakes and rivers and they can move from one area to others by water flow.
Furthermore, the reading asserts that some volunteers, especially Australian citizens, can help and the toad can capture by them. In contrast, the lecturer underlies that some volunteers are untrained and they may damage the native animals of Australia.
Finally, the researchers are designing a new type of virus to control the toad populations and especially it will be harmful just for cane toad. On the contrary, the professor dismisses this issue due to the fact that sone of Australian animals are used for research and are bought by scientist and pet shopper and are brought to the United State of America. This may results that the virus transfers to the native toad in the central and north America and devastates them which are vital in these areas.
