We calculated extraction and production rates of bushmeat species in two main tropical, moist-forest regions, the Amazon Congo basins. Extraction was estimated from average number animals consumed per person year anthropological studies that reported animal kills brought into settlements regions. ( kg / km 2 /year) for 57 31 mammalian taxa Amazon, respectively. then examined sustainability these by basin taxa, using extraction-to-production E:P) mass-balance equations. Production...
Abstract Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a contagious, severe and often lethal form of hemorrhagic fever in humans. The association EVD outbreaks with forest clearance has been suggested previously but many aspects remained uncharacterized. We used remote sensing techniques to investigate the between deforestation time space, Central West Africa. Favorability modeling, centered on 27 outbreak sites 280 comparable control sites, revealed that located along limits rainforest biome were...
Several hundred species are hunted for wild meat in the tropics, supporting diets, customs, and livelihoods of millions people. However, unsustainable hunting is one most urgent threats to wildlife ecosystems worldwide has serious ramifications people whose subsistence income tied meat. Over past 18 years, although research efforts have increased, scientific knowledge largely not translated into action. One major barrier progress been insufficient monitoring evaluation, meaning that...
Indigenous Peoples are custodians of many the world's least-exploited natural areas. These places local and global socio-ecological importance face significant threats from industrial development expansion, but risk conversion these lands remains unclear. Here we combine datasets Peoples' lands, their current ecological condition, future pressure to assess threats. To vulnerability conversion, create an index based on indicators strength security rights territories resources, representation...
Tropical moist forests in Africa are concentrated the Congo Basin. A variety of animals these forests, particular mammals, hunted for their meat, termed bushmeat. This paper investigates current and future trends bushmeat protein, non-bushmeat protein supply, inhabitants main Basin countries. Since most is derived from forest published extraction ( E ) production P estimates mammal populations were used to calculate per person supplied by these. Current supply may range 30 g −1 day...

Abstract: The impact of commercial hunting on forest mammals was studied in two regions Bioko and Rio Muni Equatorial Guinea, west Africa. Harvests were assessed from carcass counts the main markets areas. A total 10,812 carcasses 13 species recorded Bioko, 6160 30 Muni. Biomass harvested 111,879.63 kg 66,447.87 For 12 prey selected for study harvests totaled 7.15 animals/km 2 or 62.93 kg/km . 17 3.22 24.06 We used a model developed by Robinson Redford (1991) to estimate potential based...
Summary 1. Ecosystem services are the benefits humans obtain from ecosystems. The importance of research into ecosystem has been widely recognized, and rapid progress is being made. However, prevailing approach to quantifying still based on static analyses single services, ignoring system dynamics, uncertainty feedbacks. This not only partly due a lack mechanistic understanding processes dearth empirical data, but also failure engage fully with interdisciplinarity problem. 2. We argue that...

Abstract In situ conservation is central to contemporary global biodiversity protection and the predominant emphasis of international regulation funding strategies. Ex approaches, in contrast, have been relegated a subsidiary role their direct contributions limited. We draw on variety sources make case for an enhanced ex conservation. note advances occurring within institutions specializing stress that, although much remains be done, many constraints are being addressed. argue that evidence...
Abstract In Africa, overhunting of tropical wildlife for food remains an intractable issue. Donors and governments remain committed to invest in efforts both conserve allow the sustainable use wildlife. Four principal barriers need be overcome: (i) communities are not motivated long‐term because they have no formal rights benefit from wildlife, or exclude others taking it on their land; (ii) multispecies harvests, typical bushmeat hunting scenarios, place large‐bodied species at risk...
The importance of bushmeat as source food and medicine for forest peoples calls an appropriate benefit/risk analysis in terms human health. In this systematic review, we compiled information on the linkages between health, with a particular focus nutritional content, zoo-therapeutic uses zoonotic pool species tropical sub-tropical regions. Despite scarcity data content most common species, available studies demonstrate that is important fats, micro macro-nutrients has diversity medicinal...
Pygmy populations occupy a vast territory extending west-to-east along the central African belt from Congo Basin to Lake Victoria. However, their numbers and actual distribution is not known precisely. Here, we undertake this task by using locational data population sizes for an unprecedented number of camps settlements ( n = 654) in five nine countries where currently distributed. With these develop spatial models based on favourability function, which distinguish areas with favourable...
The switch from hunting wild meat for home consumption to supplying more lucrative city markets in Amazonia can adversely affect some game species. Despite this, information on the amounts of eaten Amazonian cities is still limited. We estimated rates 5 State Amazonas Brazil through 1046 door-to-door household interviews conducted 2004 2012. With these data, we modeled relationship between use and a selection socioeconomic indices. then scaled up our model determine likely be consumed...
Abstract The Critically Endangered Nubian Flapshell Turtle ( Cyclanorbis elegans ) is found in the White Nile River system South Sudan and northern Uganda. Over past few decades, its populations have sharply declined, primarily due to human‐induced threats, leading near‐extinction across almost entire range. In this paper, we present results of a comprehensive threat analysis undertaken pinpoint challenges confronting species within natural habitat, specifically only known sites where it...
