Solution
Before the development of agriculture, hunting was an important activity of man to obtain food. Many animal species were becoming extinct because of large-scale hunting. Therefore, commercial hunting is banned to protect the ecosystem in many countries. Many laws are being passed to conserve and protect animals and the ecosystem. Yet, many tribal people, such as Eskimos in the Tundra region, Pygmies of Equatorial Selvas, Bushmen of Kalahari, Sentinels in Andaman, etc., are still hunting.
