Q. The extinction of passenger pigeon was due to

Biodiversity and Conservation

Solution:

Passenger pigeons (Ectopistes migratorious) were once one of the most abundant birds on our planet, living in United States. But hunting on a very massive scale as well as deforestation, lead to their extinction. Many cruel ways were used for their hunting. The last individual of this species died in 1914 in Cincinnati Zoo.
