Question:
What are the main causes for the major threat to the nature?
Answer:
(1) Hunting of wild animals by greedy hunters for commercial purposes. Many animals are killed for their hides, skins and body parts.
(2) Pollution due to chemical and industrial wastes and acid deposits are life threatening to animals. Extinction of Indian vulture is due to this. Soil pollution is also responsible for their devastation.
(3) Reckless cutting of the forests to bring land under cultivation and in-habitation. Some precious trees like sandalwood are smuggled at a large scale every year.
