Essay topics

The article states that several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations and provides three reasons of support. Conversely, the professor states that none of these methods have solved the decline of frogs population practically or slowed down it and she refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the reading avers that the harm that pesticides cause to frogs population could be reduced by laws that prohibited farmers from using it near frogs population areas. The professor disagree wiith point by saying this method has problem economically and its unfair to farmers. First of all, farmers rely on pesticides for their cultivation and so they will negatively effected if this law would legislated. And secondly, this law would bring only disadvantages to farmers who cultivated near frogs areas while others would benefit from it.

Second, the article claims that since fungus infection cause frogs to thickeneing their skin and lower water absorption, applied an antifungal on large scale would protect frog populations from infection. On the other hand, the professor refutes this point. She says that there is problems with this method by explaining that in order to treat infected frogs with antifungal, it should be applied individually for each frog. This treatment is so difficult to do especially if they want to apply on large scale of frogs. In addition to, this treatment could not prevent fungus infection from passing to next generation of frogs and consequently, they have to capture and treat the new generation. The professor concludes this method is so complicated and expensive to stop declining in frogs populations.

Third, the reading posits that protection water habitats for frogs from excessive water use and develpment would recover frog populations. The professor disagrees with this point. She says that this method will not save frogs population from reducing because excessive water use and develpment is not the real cause. The big threat to frogs is the global warming. It leads to disappearance of lakes and marshes. As a result reducing human activity from water habitats to frogs will unlikely stop the decline of frogs populations.
