The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers’ crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
In this day and age people tend to think that in the future. they will choose to read news without over buying traditional newspapars or books to read. From my point of view. I totally disagree with this opinion. There are some reasons to account for this trend On the one hand, Becouse not almost people also have their own phones or camputer to read newspapers online. some people are in poverty they do not have enough money to read printed books to keep themself updated with what is happening around them. Furthermore as for older generation they are quite illiteratechnology so they could not the way to use buttons the keyboard to search news. it is pretty inconvenient for them to keep track of information. For istance, my grandmather she is frustrated when taking a long times to search a kind of news to read and finally she no longer using it. Instead of that she bought newspapers to read In addition to that using excessive texnological equipment like computer or phone couse damage to their eyes and have some adverse effects on their health in mentally and physically. For example as for children if make their eyes to be weaken and short - sighted. In terms of the older people , it enables them to be headache or dizzy when keeping constantly their eyes glued to the screen to read. In conclusion , Although I have to admite that reading online have lots of advantages to people if does never replace the postition of printed newspapars or books. In the future, those are still popular due its benefits which have been brought to humen life.
