This book explores the links between bushmeat and livelihoods in Africa and other parts of the world, with a focus on the human dimension of the debate. It begins with a series of case studies that provide insights into what species survive different intensities of bushmeat hunting and trapping, and examine the shape and size of household consumption and market trading. There is considerable variation, both within and between countries, which gives the reader a sense of the diversity of issues involved when considering the bushmeat trade. These case studies are supplemented with additional sections on governance and institutional impacts on wildlife management; lessons learned from agriculture, non-timber forest product and development sectors; and perspectives from other continents which shed light on the biogeographic, cultural, and economic differences in wildlife trade and consumption in those parts of the world. Written by leading scholars in conservation biology, social policy, and development, Bushmeat and Livelihoods reaches beyond simplistic solutions to address one of the major conservation and development issues facing Africa and the world today.
