Wolves can be killed by hunters (humans) or angry farmers, and are, with guns and traps. Some wolves can be taken down by fierce and upset buffalos, but this is very rare.
A major natural killer of wolves is bears. Bears fight wolves for food, territory, and life, as sometimes wolves may take bear cubs.
Cold winters with no food for over around 10 days can send a pack to starvation. A lack of antelopes and prey killed off by bears or rival animals, or humans can also eventually thin out the population.
The biggest threat, sadly enough is rotten humans who don't protect these animals, but instead hunt them down and kill them for fur, money, or sometimes just fun.
