Bushmeat and Livelihoods de G. Davies

Bushmeat and Livelihoods: Conservation Science and Practice

Autor G. Davies
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2007
This book explores the links between bushmeat and livelihoods in Africa and other parts of the world, with a focus on the human dimension of the debate. It begins with a series of case studies that provide insights into what species survive different intensities of bushmeat hunting and trapping, and examine the shape and size of household consumption and market trading. There is considerable variation, both within and between countries, which gives the reader a sense of the diversity of issues involved when considering the bushmeat trade. These case studies are supplemented with additional sections on governance and institutional impacts on wildlife management; lessons learned from agriculture, non-timber forest product and development sectors; and perspectives from other continents which shed light on the biogeographic, cultural, and economic differences in wildlife trade and consumption in those parts of the world.

Written by leading scholars in conservation biology, social policy, and development, Bushmeat and Livelihoods reaches beyond simplistic solutions to address one of the major conservation and development issues facing Africa and the world today.

Public țintă

the book aims to inform policy makers, in both development and conservation circles. It is relevant to university departments and research institutions which specialise in natural resource management and human development issues, and it equally applies to advisers in aid agencies such as DFID (UK), the European Commission, USAID, the World Bank and the African Development Bank


In addition to contributing to this debate, it will offer a strong set of reference material, bringing together data and debate from many scattered sources into a single volume. Students of wildlife management, conservation and development will be able to use this book as a reference source.
