waterfowl conservation & management
3 of 10
select all the significant threats to waterfowl
avian diseases
decline in hunters
habitat loss
overharvest

Explanation:

Avian diseases can spread rapidly among waterfowl populations, causing mass die-offs. Habitat loss eliminates critical breeding, feeding, and resting areas for waterfowl. Overharvest (excessive hunting) directly reduces waterfowl numbers beyond sustainable levels. A decline in hunters does not pose a threat to waterfowl populations; it may even reduce hunting pressure.

Answer:

Avian diseases
Habitat loss
Overharvest
