waterfowl: conservation & management
9 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 mortality. Habitat loss destroys the critical breeding, feeding, and resting areas waterfowl depend on. Overharvest, when hunting exceeds sustainable population levels, directly reduces waterfowl numbers. A decline in hunters does not pose a direct threat to waterfowl survival; in some cases, reduced hunting can benefit populations.

Avian diseases
Habitat loss
Overharvest
