Conservation Threats
Their past extinction was due to tigers precisely the Balinese tiger, and humans hunting them for their antlers and pelts. Their main predators now are still humans, but also leopards, the golden jackal, dholes which is the Asiatic wild dog, the Indian wolf, pythons, and crocodiles.
Another reason for population decline is from habitat deterioration to build bigger cities, and more places to live and build crops.

Famous quotes containing the words conservation and/or threats:
“The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, as far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the more important work of saving and restoring our forests and the great improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Among the best traitors Ireland has ever had, Mother Church ranks at the very top, a massive obstacle in the path to equality and freedom. She has been a force for conservatism, not on the basis of preserving Catholic doctrine or preventing the corruption of her children, but simply to ward off threats to her own security and influence.”
—Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
