The golden frog is a small bright-yellow amphibian that lives in and around mountain streams in Panama The species is severely endangered because of a fungus that infects the frog through its skin and inhibits the frog's critical life functions, such as breathing. Conservationists have proposed a few solutions to the golden frog's fungus problem.
Bacterial Protection
First, scientists have identified a natural enemy of the fungus: a type of bacterium. This bacterium produces a chemical that kills fungal cells. Scientists think that they may be able to introduce colonies of this bacterium to the skin of golden frogs. The bacterial colonies would then protect the frogs against the fungus infection
Breeding Frogs in Captivity
Second, researchers are considering the possibility of breeding golden frogs in captivity and then releasing them in the wild to replenish wild populations The golden frog can develop disease-free in captivity; where it is isolated from the fungus When golden frogs bred in captivity are released in habitats where wild golden frogs have died out, the frogs bred in captivity will give rise to a healthy, fungus-free population.
A Natural Defense
Third, it is possible that golden frogs w川 overcome the threat posed by the fungus without human intervention. Some golden frogs have what seems to be a natural defense against the fungus. When infected, they increase their body temperature, which slows down the growth of the fungus If this ability to resist the fungal infection spreads among the golden frog population as a whole, the frog population is likely to overcome the crisis and start increasing again.

The readinng and lecture have conflicting views on the solution proposed to save endangered golden frogs that live mauntan area of Panama. The former propses three solution to fight the fungus that attack golden frogs,the latter in the other hand disagree with the author's points.

First, The author claims that there is a type of bacterium which can be used to protect these golden frog. According to the reading this bacterium can be put on frog skin and therefore kill fungus. The professor believes that there flaws in the author's arguments. He says that introducing bacterium on frog skin works for a short time after that they stop working. This solution is a tamporary response and can't help as longtime answer. For this point the professor challenges the reading.

Secondly, the writer suggests that breeding golden frog in controled environment, which doesn't have fungus, and after that introduced back to their natural habitat can help eladicate this fungus problems. The lecturer, on the other hand, argues that this solution is not likely to work since other animal in the golden frog natural habitat are also infected. As a result, if the disease free frogs are are returned to this region they are likely to be infected by other animals. The professor show how the solution proposed is not going to work.

Third, the reading says that using some types of golden frogs that are resistant to the fungus infection will be the best solution. The speaker, shows the flaws of this practice, he mentions that using natural huminity to fight fungus requires amount of energy. If the frog spend such energy they will become week and will be vulnerable to many disease. Consequentely they will die from other illness due to weakness. This point show how the soltion proposed by the reading have some drawback.
