Household Bushmeat Consumption in Brazzaville, the Republic of the Congo [PDF]
Tropical Conservation Science, 2011 Wildlife meat is an important source of animal protein for rural and urban populations in Congo. Quantitative and qualitative surveys on the consumption of bushmeat were undertaken in Brazzaville in 2006, in about 1,050 urban households. The main objective was to establish the profiles of consumers and of species concerned. The results showed that 88.3%

Bushmeat genetics: setting up a reference framework for the
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2014 AbstractThe bushmeat trade in tropical Africa represents illegal, unsustainable off‐takes of millions of tons of wild game – mostly mammals – per year. We sequenced four mitochondrial gene fragments (cytb,COI, 12S, 16S) in >300 bushmeat items representing nine mammalian orders and 59 morphological species from five western and centralAfrican ...

The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.
