Many groups, such as PETA and the EPA are completely against hunting. Hunting actually helps to keep the natural balance healthy. However, overhunting can have a terrible effect on the ecosystem. It can lead to the extinction of a species. Think about it like this, owls, cats, and foxes eat mice, voles, and frogs. Mice voles and frogs eat grass, wheat and insects. If suddenly, all insects died, frogs couldn't eat them, and would starve and go extinct. If forgs died, there's more food for mice and voles, and their population would go up. Eventually, the higher population wouldn't be supported because there isn't enough food, then mice and voles would die off. Then, owls, cats and foxes would starve to death because the frogs, mice and voles are dead. Eventually, it could work its way up to humans. When populations are too high, hunting is good.

How did hunter-gatherers affect the environment in which they lived?
Hunter-gatherers had a relatively low impact on their environment as they moved frequently in search of food, not depleting resources in one area. They employed sustainable practices in their hunting and gathering activities, promoting ecosystem balance. However, their presence did contribute to changes in biodiversity through selective hunting and gathering practices.
