THREATS

• Habitat loss, because when humans make way forntowns, saolas are squished into smaller spaces.
• Hunting, saolas are squished into untouched forest, so hunters find them easily.
• Snares, saolas get caught in snares that farmers set for deer, so deer dont eat their crops.
• Predeators, a small amount of why the saolas disapead is because of their predators.
• The last threat is cimat change, yes they adapt but not that quickly.

COMPARE AND COMTRAST

PROTECTING THE SAOLA

MY SOLUTIONS

• I think that they should also tell everybody not to harm saolas
• They should tell farmers to be more careful for snarls
• Or not to take saolas in captive, or kill them
