Bushmeat: Crisis on Bioko
The unsustainable, commercial, and illegal hunting of bushmeat that threatens wildlife populations is often referred to as a conservation “crisis.” Amy Zets, MS/MPP 2011 introduces the complexities of the bushmeat problem and highlights Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea and the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program’s (BBPP) conservation efforts as a case study. Amy worked for BBPP on Bioko Island during the summer of 2009 and spent over a year volunteering on outreach with the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF). She is currently finalizing her scholarly paper analyzing data from a bushmeat market survey in the forest region of the Republic of Guinea, and will provide details of the analysis and propose solutions and action to end the crisis.
