tpo 17 the human population decline birds' numbers

The material discusses that the growth of the human population affects the number of birds. While the reading claims that birds in the future will be fewer and fewer, the professor challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage. First, the author says that exploit wildlife by humans will decline birds' numbers. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes this and states that urban growth may affect some birds' species, but it could provide better habitats for others. The professor mentions that there is no uniform story that could affect all birds' species. To put it in other words, some species will shrink; however, others will grow. Second, the writer mentions that increasing agriculture could also destructive birds habitats. On the contrary, the lecturer contradicts this and points out that it is true that agriculture could affect birds' numbers, but in the US, people stated to cultivate less and less land. The speaker adds that people now cultivate new crops that use less land and give more harvests. Third, the reading posits that using pesticides in agriculture could poison birds. Conversely, the listening contradicts this and contends that the point about pesticides is incorrect. The lecturer explains that people started to be aware of pesticides' consequences, so they follow two strategies. First, people use new much less toxic pesticides. Secondly, the professor adds people cultivate pests resistant crops, which do not need pesticides. The lecturer adds that these crops could not harm birds at all.
