Why is carabian monk seal extincted?

Answer 1

The Caribbean monk seal was declared extinct primarily due to extensive hunting for its blubber, which was valuable for oil production. Additionally, habitat degradation, competition with human activities, and the impact of diseases contributed to its decline. By the mid-20th century, these factors had led to a significant reduction in their population, ultimately resulting in their extinction. Conservation efforts came too late to save the species, which was last sighted in the 1950s.
