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:
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”

“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)
