Local‐Scale Dynamics and Local Drivers of Bushmeat Trade

Conservation Biology, 2014
Abstract Bushmeat management policies are often developed outside the communities in which they are to be implemented. These policies are also routinely designed to be applied uniformly across communities with little regard for variation in social or ecological conditions. We used fuzzy‐logic cognitive mapping, a form of participatory

Factors Determining the Choice of Hunting and Trading Bushmeat in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania

Conservation Biology, 2013
Abstract Regulation of illegal bushmeat trade is a major conservation challenge in Africa. We investigated what factors are most likely to induce actors in the bushmeat trade to shift to an alternative occupation by conducting a choice experiment with 325 actors in the bushmeat trade in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania. Specifically, we
