If one of the species in the ecosystem overpopulates or is over-hunted, it causes a ripple effect. For example, if foxes stopped being hunted, they would overpopulate, which would lead to a decline in the rabbit population. Then, the rabbits would be over-hunted, and the foxes would die out and the rabbits would overpopulate. They would eat all of the vegetation, and it would die out. Then the rabbits would die. Then the foxes would die.
