Hunting a keystone species to extinction can significantly disrupt the balance of an ecosystem, leading to its collapse. Keystone species play critical roles in maintaining biodiversity and health within their habitats, and their loss can trigger negative chain reactions. Protecting these species is essential for preserving ecosystems.
