Bushmeat

In much of Central Africa, eating wildlife is seen as a normal, desirable and common-sense

practice. Almost all wild animals, from the largest mammals to the smallest invertebrates, are

hunted, traded and consumed, providing vital income and nutrition for millions of people. But

as demand for bushmeat grows, animal populations are being decimated, directly impacting

biodiversity, local economies and public health.Taking an interdisciplinary

approach, Bushmeat explores questions ranging from deforestation and conservation

strategies to infectious diseases, urban street food and law enforcement. It explains how the

popularity of wild meat consumption has spread from rural areas into major cities, fuelled by

rapid urbanisation, poorly defined regulations, and developing trade networks-whether smallscale

and informal, or commercial and politically connected. While unsustainable hunting

practices pose clear problems for wildlife conservation, they also increase the risk of rural

food insecurity and of new infectious diseases emerging-as HIV, Ebola and Covid-19 have

shown. But cultural attachment to wild meat, and its dietary importance for many

communities, make the ‘bushmeat crisis’ difficult to solve.Based on extensive interviews and

a comprehensive review of secondary literature, Bushmeatpresents a startling account of one

of the Anthropocene’s catastrophes in the making.
