Question
Hunting and loss of ecosystem
✓
Answer
Before the development of agriculture hunting was the important activity of man to obtain food.
Many animal species were becoming extinct because of large scale hunting.
Therefore, to protect the ecosystem, in many countries commercial hunting is banned.
Presently, many laws are being passed to conserve and protect the animals and ecosystem.
Yet, many tribal people such as Eskimos in Tundra region, Pygmies of Equatorial Selvas, Bushmen of Kalahari, Sentinels in Andaman etc., are still doing hunting.
