If falcons become extinct, the food web would experience significant disruption. As apex predators, falcons help control populations of their prey, such as small birds and rodents. Without them, these populations may increase unchecked, leading to overgrazing or depletion of vegetation, which in turn affects herbivores and the entire ecosystem. Additionally, other predators might not fill the ecological niche left by falcons, further destabilizing the food web.
