Many things. First, unregulated harvest by hunters. Second, destruction of available habitat.

Sometimes, inter specific competition as in the case of the spotted owl.

The spotted owl thrived in the deep forests of the northwestern United States.

As the forests were cleared, only scattered forests remained.

The remaining spotted owls populated these zones, and began to recover. But, a close relative, the barred owl, moved in, because this bird is more tolerant of human activities and sparse woodlots.

Once again, the spotted owl is under threat, but this time from a relative.

Sometimes, natural disasters can destroy local populations of animals, or even diseases can do the same.
