The material discusses the problem of the Torreya tree declining. While the reading suggests three ways to save Torreya from extinction, the listening challenges this and mentions that none of these ways is a satisfying solution.
First, the author states that Torreys could reestablish in the same location that they grew thousands of years. On the other hand, The professor opposes this and points out that reestablishing Torreya is not a successful solution. The lecturer explains that there is a change in the climate in the large region due to global warming. the professor adds that the wetland became drained. Furthermore, the speaker says that Northen Florida has become dryer than it was in the past, so Torreya could not survive in this climate.
Second, the listening states that Torreya could be moved to another location where the temperature is favorable. In contrast, the lecturer refutes this and posits that this approach could have some challenges. The speaker states that when the Balckluke trees move to another location, they spread very quickly and killed the plants and trees in this area. Moreover, the professor adds that these plants and trees were endangered. As a result, the lecturer says that changing the location of trees has unpredicted outcomes.
Third, the reading suggests preserving Torreya's seeds in research centers. Conversely, the listening contradicts this and states that it is not a proper solution since seeds could not resist diseases. The professor mentions that seeds should be in large numbers and genetically modified. The lecturer says that research centers do not have enough capacity for these seeds, so they will not capable to survive.
