Why are water voles becoming extinct?

Answer 1

The reason water voles are at the top of the UK's endangered list is largely because their habitats (they live on riversides) are being destroyed by humans. Also, they are hunted by minks that got imported from North America.

Answer 2

Water voles are an endangered species in the United Kingdom and have suffered the greatest decline of any British mammal since the latter half of the 20th Century. Water voles have been lost from the majority of the British countryside due to the combined pressures of habitat loss and predation by invasive American mink. There you go!!!!!!xx

Answer 3

Water voles are becoming extinct due to habitat loss, pollution of waterways, predation by non-native species like mink, and disease. These factors have all contributed to a decline in water vole populations across their range. Conservation efforts are being made to try and reverse this trend and protect the remaining populations.
