"A lot of animals are dying because of man."

Translation: Beaucoup d'animaux meurent à cause de l'Homme.

[BasiaNowak3]

What's with the capitalization here? Is that standard?

[RainyJan]

I was wondering this also!

[lacai]

I wonder if it's considered sexist in French if "l'Homme" is used to refer to humankind?

[Geimle]

Why à cause de and not parce que?

[Jojo553168]

Parce que (because) introduces a clause with a verb.
A cause de (because of) is followed by a noun.

      → Beaucoup d'animaux meurent à cause de l'Homme.
      → Beaucoup d'animaux meurent parce que l'Homme est dangereux !

[KenAndresen]

It should be "l'humanité" rather than "l'homme."
