The lecture and the reading both discuss the decline in the frog species. The reading provides three ways to prevent the decline in the frog’s population. The lecture refutes each of the reading methods, saying that each method has a problem.

First of all, the reading argues that pesticides are the main cause that leads to frog’s extinction. If law prohibits the farmers from using pesticides near frogs habitat, that will save the frog’s population. However, the lecture opposes this point saying that it is not economical and fair to apply a new law. Some farmers would get a lot of disadvantages. For example, farmers are competing to have more crops, if the law prohibit the farmers from applying pesticides to their land, they will have lower yield than their competitors.

In addition, the reading states that fungus is another cause that leads to the decline in frog’s population. Fungus caused a disease to the frogs and leads to their extinction. Applying treatment on a large scale to the frogs will solve the problem. The lecture opposes this point by stating that it is not easy and it is expensive to apply the antifungal medication. According to the professor applying the medication need to capture each frog and apply the medication individually. Moreover, the antifungal will not prevent the spread of the disease to the offspring frogs.

Lastly, the reading makes an argument that preserving the lakes and the marches from human uses will save the frog from extinction. Lakes and marches are the best habitat for frogs. But, the lecture refutes this point by stating that the global warming is the main cause of the extinction of frogs and many other animals. Furthermore, preserving the lakes and marches will not solve the problem.
