Hunting and bushmeat utilization in the African rain forest
2001  Full Book

The purpose of this volume is to draw attention to the complex nature of the bushmeat crisis in West and Central Africa, and to serve as a starting point for dialogue across sectors about how to best develop and implement solutions. The ideas here are neither a manual of conservation actions, nor a prescription for addressing the bushmeat crisis. Instead, we present a collection of diverse perspectives to offer a framework for action, one that is based on the social, cultural, and ecological context within which the bushmeat problem has arisen. The wildlife and human dimensions are analyzed by experts, all of whom submit their own methods, perspectives, and beliefs to help strengthen conservation initiatives. We hope that this book will be useful to conservation practitioners, development agencies, and private sector industries interested in mitigating the bushmeat crisis.
