Not all woodpeckers obtain their food from trees, some feed on the ground, but they do need trees for nesting.

So the removal of trees from areas where woodpeckers live would be a factor leading to their extinction.

Another factor would be the overuse of insecticides as has already happened in the reduction of numbers of some species of birds.
