Too few individuals remain to reproduce
Having a predator that preys on that certain species or something to do with the environment conditions
Hunting if controlled is good at keeping some animal populations in check. Over population by a species can cause huge problems with other species, if they eat all the food. But over hunting can also cause problems within a species. Governments try to control hunting though licencing, hunting seasons and regulations
Bottleneck events are not always caused by the death of most of a species population. Bottleneck events can be caused by man hunting a species too much, habitat destruction, or an environmental disaster.
Poachers are hunting them when they aren't suppose to and the animals become endangered
Yes, hunting can cause extinction. Hunting destroys the animals life.
Symbiotic relationships can cause a population crash if one or both species become overly dependent on each other for survival. If one species experiences a decline in population, it can lead to a shortage of resources for the other species, causing a ripple effect that impacts both populations negatively and can result in a crash.
Climatic changes resulted in a drying trend that has continued for the last 10,000 years. The extent to which a geological barrier can effectively isolate a population.
They are endangered due to their current population and rate it is either increasing or decrease Main cause for some species like Antarctic Minke whale is due to hunting and many whales before were hunted to the brink to extinction but some able to recover after commercial whaling ban. Main cause is Whaling but Whales do die from ship collisions and occasionally from military tests in the oceans.
Bengal Tigers are not in fact extinct, though three sub species are. The cause of the extinction of these three sub species are over hunting, and habitat destruction. The same goes for the Endangering of the other six sub species still alive today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers
Indiscriminate hunting refers to the practice of hunting animals without regard for species, size, or age, often leading to the capture or killing of non-target species and disrupting ecosystems. This method can result in the depletion of wildlife populations, particularly endangered species, and can cause significant ecological imbalances. It is typically driven by motives such as profit, sport, or lack of regulation, and poses serious threats to biodiversity. Conservation efforts aim to combat indiscriminate hunting through sustainable practices and legal protections.
Legal hunting is no longer a significant cause of extinctions primarily due to the implementation of regulated hunting practices and conservation laws that promote sustainable wildlife management. Many countries have established wildlife reserves and protected areas, allowing populations to recover while controlling hunting to ensure species survival. Additionally, increased awareness and global conservation efforts have shifted focus towards habitat preservation and anti-poaching initiatives, further reducing the impact of hunting on endangered species. As a result, legal hunting is now often part of broader conservation strategies rather than a direct threat to wildlife.
While humans have in some cases caused over hunting this is certainly not the case in most places. Many species are in fact over populated and should be hunted more extensively to give room for other, less competitive, species. One very common reason why many species are threatened is loss of habitat form deforestation etc…
