Question
Poaching of tiger is a burning issue in today's world. What implication would this activity have on the functioning of the ecosystem of which the tigers are an integral part?
✓
Answer
Poaching (hunting) of tiger disturbs the ecological balance in ecosystem. Tigers are important predator of forest. Predator keeps prey population under control. Due to hunting of tiger its population decreases, hence the population of deer (prey) increases and interspecific competition occurs between them. Due to increase in prey population (that feeds on vegetation/ grass), vegetation destroyed rapidly which causes ecological disturbance.
