The reading and the lecture are both about frogs, and how they are getting extinct and endangered. The author of the reading believes that the decline in frog population is mostly from the environment, and how it is being treated. The lecturer casts doubts made on this article. She thinks that the frogs are disappearing from different reasons.
First of all, the author points out that the frogs are decreasing, from pesticide. It is mentioned that the government should prevent farmers who live near a frogs neighborhood, to stop using pesticide. This point is challenged by the by the lecturer. She says that a law making farmers use pesticide would be unfair. Furthermore, she argues by saying that the farmers who are not allowed to use pesticide would have less crops than the farmers with pesticide.
Secondly, the author contends that the frogs are dying from fungus. The article notes that the fungus creates thick layers on the skin, which prevents the frogs from absorbing water. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that getting rid of the fungus would not be a good idea. She elaborates of this by mentioning that the fungus would continue growing even after cleaning the frogs and the project would be complicating and expensive.
Finally, the author states that the frog’s ecosystems are being ruined by humans. The article establishes that the humans, collect water from where the frogs lay eggs, preventing frogs to be able to reproduce. The lecturer on the other hand mentions that the humans are not the problem, and even if the humans stop this, the population would be the same. She puts forth on this idea, by stating that global warming is the main problem, and it has made many wetland species go extinct.
