TPO-20 - Integrated Writing Task In the United States, it had been common practice since the late 1960s no to suppress natural forest fires. The “let it burn” policy assumed that forest fire would burn themselves out quickly, without causing much dama

Both the passage and the lecture discuss the "let it burn" policy, which stated that firemen should let fires extinguish themselves. The passage pointed out three types of damage caused by the policy that people criticized as a result of an immense forest fire in yellow stone. However, the lecturer posits that there is a bright side of this law that is being overlooked.

First, the passage argues that trees and vegetation were heavily affected. it is mentioned that one-third of Yellowstone's park was incinerated, scorching trees and reducing plants to ashes. The lecturer posits that the fire brought benefits for the plant life afterward. She states that the burned trees allowed other species of smaller plants to thrive, thus, generating more diversity in the long run.

Second, the text claims that wildlife suffered as well. The author says that many large animals fled the park and smaller probably died. furthermore, it is mentioned that the food chain was disrupted, making it difficult for the surviving animals to go back. The lecturer challenges this point. She argues that similarly to plants, new opportunities for different animals arose. She notes that because of the new plant life, a perfect ecosystem for small animals was created, which became stronger after the fire.

Finally, the author says that the fire also affected the local economy, because Yellowstone was a tourist attraction, the intense fire made it an unappealing destiny for many people and as a result, there was a less economic activity. The lecturer stands that this fire was an unusual event, a result of various factors and the let it burn policy was not responsible for it. Furthermore, she says that regular fires are not disastrous enough to affect the economy of parks.
