• Human-animal conflict- due to the destruction of habitat of animals, they often encounter humans that eventually result in killing of animals.
• Deforestation- With the increasing population and their demands, forests are being cut on a large scale for various uses. This causes the loss of habitat for animals.
• Commercial use of different parts of animal body- Various animals are killed for the commercial use of their body products such as fur, skin and horns.
