Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and let the toad vanish.  He believes that everyone is responsible for restoring the toad species.  Dr. Knapp thinks we could help restore the toad population if we stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow wild to reserve space for the toad.  He also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers.  The chemicals kill the insects that toads eat.  If we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes we can save the toads.  What text structure is this?
