P1.
1. Context: desert tortoise has declined since the 1980s
2. Argument: federal protection is insufficient tp reverse the decline – further intervention is required
P2&P3.
1. Problem(1): desert tortoise’s low reproductive potential
2. Elaborate: Females size requirement for breeding + the vulnerable young is not easy to survive(soft shell, neglected by adult tortoises)
3. Problem(2): predators – many birds, mammals, and other reptiles
4. Elaborate: though tortoises burrow – larger mammalian predators may dig them out
P4.
1. Argument: additional measures must be taken
2. Measure(1): protect the limited habitat of desert tortoises
Measure(2): control the birds(raven populations)
Measure(3): stop release captive tortoises – pass upper respiratory tract disease
P5.
1. Supplement: tortoises rely heavily on moisture in the vegetation consumed in spring
2. Problem(3): the loss of native plants – lessen the tortoise’s resistance to pathogens
