Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of squirrel is decreasing and this can be traced to the environment not being favorable for their growth and development.

Looking at the data generated,

Died from predation =2

Born=4

Immigration=10

Left to find food =3

Died from disease=8

Left to find mate=3

If all the squirrel did not abandon their habitat and they all live there a total of 2+4+10+3+8+3= 30 squirrel would have been present, but given that only 4 were born and that others left for another place the population is reduced to 4 and 26 squirrel gone this has lead to a reduced population.
