Respuesta :

The event that greatly influenced the decline of the peregrine falcon species is B). the use of pesticides on plants.

  • The event that triggered the decimation of the peregrine falcon has not been traced to the destruction of their natural habitats during wars.  Its population was not reduced by the flying-training of young falcons without their adults, nor the invasion of the city by the great horned owls.

  • It is true that the peregrine falcons are preyed by golden eagles and great horned owls, but the preying cannot be compared with the threats posed by human activities.

Thus, the only event that caused the population of the peregrine falcon to decline rapidly is the use of pesticides on plants, especially DDT.
