Ord's kangaroo rats are endangered primarily due to habitat loss caused by urban development, agriculture, and invasive plant species that alter their natural environments. Additionally, they face threats from predation and competition with other species. Conservation efforts are hindered by their specific habitat requirements, which limit their ability to adapt to changing landscapes. Preservation of their natural habitats is crucial for their survival.
