Killing/removing of predators is one way. Humans are involved in most cases. Over breeding. Humans. Species introduced into ner areas, causing unforseen consequences. Humans.
Anywhere humans go they alter their surroundings. The more humans, the greater the alterations.
Once, we were a part of nature. Now, we (8 billion and growing exponentially) have become a force of nature. Great, powerful in our destruction and reshaping of our planet. Like a child with a gun, they realize they have something powerful, but they can't begin to comprehend the never ending list of consequences of their potential choices of action.
