The change that would lead to a decrease in the Wood Rat population is: **"There has been an increase in the Red-Tailed Hawk population."**
This is because Red-Tailed Hawks are predators that likely prey on Wood Rats. An increase in their population would lead to a higher predation rate on Wood Rats, potentially decreasing their population.
