A bioeconomic analysis of bushmeat hunting [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
Unsustainable bushmeat hunting is a major threat to mammal species, particularly in West/Central Africa. We developed a multispecies dynamic simulation model of hunter behaviour, parameterized using data from the Ashanti region, Ghana. The model distinguishes between two hunting techniques, snaring and gun hunting. We analyse the impact of key economic

Bushmeat and bycatch: the sum of the parts [PDF]

Molecular Ecology, 2007
AbstractIn many developing countries, the killing of wild animals for commercial purposes (the bushmeat trade) is a significant factor in the reduction of biodiversity, and probably represents a major threat to the survival of many more populations than we know. This includes marine species such as cetaceans, sea turtles and sirenians (‘marine bushmeat’
