if the "let it burn" policy should be replaced
Both the reading and the lecture discuss if the "let it burn" policy should be replaced. The reading implies that we should extinguish forest fires as soon as they appeared. On the contrary, the professor holds an opposite idea.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that Yellowstone fires caused tremendous damage to the tree and vegetation. However, according to the lecturer, although a lot of trees and vegetation were burned down, it also created an opportunity for some plants. New kind of vegetation grow and colonized the forest after the fire.
Secondly, the passage also discussed about the decline of large animal. Yet, the lecturer severely challenges the theory again because their population recovered soon after. Furthermore, the fire created an ideal habitat for small animals like rabbit. With the growth of small animals, their predators came and made the food chain stronger than before.
Finally, the reading indicates that due to the fire, the number of visitors decreased and had negative consequences for the local economy. The lecturer opposes the evidence revealed in the reading passage. To elaborate, the speaker believes that the fire in 1988 is a very unusual case. It doesn’t happen annually, and the tourists have come back since the next year.
