In the United States, it had been common practice since the late 1960s not to suppress natural forest fires. The "let it burn" policy assumed that forest fire would burn themselves out quickly, without causing much damage. However, in the summer of 1988, forest fires in Yellowstone, the most famous national park in the country, burned for more than two months and spread over a huge area, encompassing more than 800,000 acres. Because of the large scale of the damage, many people called for replacing the "let it burn" policy with a policy of extinguishing forest fires as soon as they appeared. Three kinds of damage caused by the "let it burn" policy were emphasized by critics of the policy.
First, Yellowstone fires caused tremendous damage to the park's trees and other vegetation. When the fires finally died out, nearly one third of Yellowstone's land had been scorched. Trees were charred and blackened from flames and smoke. Smaller plants were entirely incinerated. What had been a national treasure now seemed like a devastated wasteland.
Second, the park wildlife was affected as well. Large animals like deer and elk were seen fleeing the fire. Many smaller species were probably unable to escape. There was also concern that the destruction of habitats and the disruption of food chains would make it impossible for the animals that survived the fire to return.
Third, the fires compromised the value of the park as a tourist attraction, which in turn had negative consequences for the local economy. With several thousand acres of the park engulfed in flames, the tourist season was cut short, and a large number of visitors decided to stay away. Of course, local businesses that depended on park visitors suffered as a result.
Both the lecture and the article talk about the reasons some critics enumerate to replace the "let it burn" policy, which it is a debatable issue especially after the devastating forest fire of Yellowstone in 1988. The reading asserts that this policy let the fire to burn forest in a irrepparable maner and it should be replaced. On the other hand, the professor believes that forest fire is a part of natural cycle of those habitat and it is more creative than desroying. She says that forest fire are fundementally good even sometimes may pose a huge destruction.
First, the lecturer avers that after the huge forest fire in Yellowstone, the scorched land was colonized by newe plants. She adds that fire provided plants with a unique opportunity to become more diverse, especially some vegatations that did not have chance to grow, after that fire had a free space to flurish. The opened space from shade of other trees, inaddition the heat that helped some seed to sprut made a more diverse vegatation in forest. Then, she directly rebut this idea that forest fire in Yellowstone just had devastating effects on that.
Second, the professor mentions that not only large animal like elk and deer came back to the forest park but also the new vegatations provided a new habitat for some small creatures such as rabits and hires. Those kinds of small animnal propagated quickly and bigger predatores found more foods. Therefore the chain food became stronger and more resililent. With this explanation, the professor repudiate this idea that forest fire have a dire consequence on population and diversity of funa of park.
Third, the professor asserts that if that fire happens every year, it will affect the tourist attraction of the Yellwostone park, but it won't happen frequently. She states that some factores likle low rainfall, high-speed wind, and compailing the leaves and other flammable materials caused that massive fire in Yellow stone at that year. It is not usuall that all these circumestance happen together. Hence, it will not happen regularly.As a results, the torists came back to the park a year after fire and revive the local economy of people who live there. This directly rejects this theory that fire affect the economy of local people.
