What causes the Lynx population to drop?

The lynx population can decline due to several factors, including habitat loss, which reduces their hunting grounds and prey availability. Additionally, climate change can affect the ecosystems they rely on, leading to fluctuations in prey populations. Increased human activity, such as urban development and road construction, can also lead to higher mortality rates from vehicle collisions and poaching. Finally, diseases and competition with other predators can further stress lynx populations.
