How does over hunting by humans affect biodiversity?

Answer 1

Many groups, such as PETA and the EPA are completely against hunting. Hunting actually helps to keep the natural balance healthy. However, overhunting can have a terrible effect on the ecosystem. It can lead to the extinction of a species. Think about it like this, owls, cats, and foxes eat mice, voles, and frogs. Mice voles and frogs eat grass, wheat and insects. If suddenly, all insects died, frogs couldn't eat them, and would starve and go extinct. If forgs died, there's more food for mice and voles, and their population would go up. Eventually, the higher population wouldn't be supported because there isn't enough food, then mice and voles would die off. Then, owls, cats and foxes would starve to death because the frogs, mice and voles are dead. Eventually, it could work its way up to humans. When populations are too high, hunting is good.

Answer 2

Over-hunting by humans can lead to a decrease in the population of certain species, which can disrupt the balance of ecosystems and lead to a loss of biodiversity. This can have cascading effects on other species within the ecosystem, leading to a decrease in overall biodiversity. It is important to manage hunting practices sustainably to prevent these negative impacts.

Answer 3

Reduces genetic diversity and causes trophic cascade.
