EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Over-gathering of certain plants and seeds caused those plants to become more scarce. This negatively impacted the animals who fed on those plants as they would have had much less food to eat. In addition, as their hunting skills became more efficient, hunter-gatherers hunted some animal species to extinction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The problem occurs almost exclusively in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where subsistence hunting tends to play an important economic role and environmental protections are often lax, and it is mainly associated with illegal and unregulated hunting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals were hunted by hunters to obtain certain valuable products from them. For example, elephants are hunted for their valuable tusks, rhinos are hunted for their horns and bears are hunted for their fur.
