amphibian spread measures

The article states several measures to stop the spread of the cane toad population in Australia. This is because of the rapid multiplication of cane toads and being a threat to native animals that are not pests. The article provides three measures to stop the spread. However, the professor explains that these measures are ineffective and refutes each of the author’s reasons.

First, the reading claims that natural fences will be able to prevent the toads. They cite this reason from the past experience of it used for the successful prevention of rabbits. The professor refutes this point by saying that the fences won’t stop the spread of toads many of them are present in streams and rivers. They can be easily carried to the other side and thus making this method ineffective.

Second, the article posits that the toads could be destroyed by the help of volunteers. The article cites this claim by saying that the cane toads can be easily caught in simple traps and hands. However, the professor says that many of the volunteers will be untrained and they cannot distinguish between cane toads and the native one. This can lead to the destruction of the native species of toads as well.

Third, the article says that a disease-causing virus can be an effective measure to stop the population of cane toads. The virus will be specially designed, infecting only the cane toads. However, the professor opposes this point. She says that, since most of the cane toads from Australia are exported back to central and south America, it can cause disaster in the ecosystem over there.
