Bushmeat is a consortium of conservation organizations and scientists dedicated to the conservation of wildlife populations threatened by commercial hunting of wildlife for sale as meat. Our primary goals are to : a) work with the general members of the BCTF to focus attention on the bushmeat crisis in Africa ; b) establish an information database and mechanisms for information sharing regarding the bushmeat issue ; c) facilitate engagement of African partners and stakeholders in addressing the bushmeat issue ; and d) promote collaborative decision-making, fund-raising and actions among the members and associates of the BCTF.
The Bushmeat Project has been established to support partnerships that will help the people of equatorial Africa to protect the region’s vital ecosystems and vibrant societies. The program is a long-term effort to provide economic and social incentive and to enable the expansion of capacity in the conservation arena.
