TPO-15 - Integrated Writing Task 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 insec

The article states that several meausres proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Austrialia and provides three reasons of supports. Conversely, the porfessor states that none of these measures will stop the spread of cane toad. All measures that presented by the author’s were unsucessful in preventing the spread of cane toad. And she refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading claims that a national fence would prevent the spread of the cane toad in Australia. However, the professor refutes this point by stating that building a fence would not stop the spread. Young cane toad and its egg used rivers, and streams to transport. So, when the cane toad eggs float on the water, it would carry out to other side of the river, to other location. tehrefore, if we could located the cane toad, it would be useless. She concludes that a national fence would be so uneffective in stopping the spread og the cane toad.

Second, the reading avers that the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. The professor, on ther hand, opposes this idea by stating that this could have destroyed other native species too. SInce those volunteers untrained, they could not have been able to recognize the young cane toad and native frogs species. Becuase those two species are relatively similar and its hard to distinguish among them. Therefore, capturign and destroying the cane toad would not easy and sucessful way to prevent the spread of them.

Third, the reading posits that a diesease-causing virous will be developed to control the cane toad populations. The professor disagrees with this point by saying this is a bad idea for the ecosystem. For example, the virus would infect certain reptile and amphbian species that inhabit the South America. SO, when these species transport from Australia to South America, the virus will spread and attack the native cane toad. Since the toads in South America are vital part of the ecosytem, this could lead to devastate the ecosystem there. Therefore, the development of virus-causing disease to control the cane toad popluations in AUstralia would have negative consequences on the ecosystem in the other places.
