sustainable use of wildlife?” (15th MOP of the
Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP))
Considering the significant financial and economic
values of bushmeat for both consumers (in rural
and isolated urban centers) and commercial
hunters in Central Africa, the aim of this work was
to identify economics motives pros and cons
formalizing certain aspects of wildlife hunting and
trade whilst ensuring it remains both ecologically
sustainable and manageable given the weak
governance.
