Benefits of protecting and preserving the Giant Armadillo is that their pray wouldn't over populate and they are threatened by over hunting and the loss of habitat because of human settlement and agricultural development.
1992–1997 indicated that in some years armadillos, particularly the adult armadillos, avoided areas that had been burned, but effects were inconsistent and relatively weak. In contrast, wood removal during 1998–2000 made a significant decline in population numbers that continued through 2003.

abundance.
