Nice paper in #Nature by #MattiaBessone and colleagues on the patterns and consequences of #WildMeat #consumption in #CentralAfrica
"Using data from over 12,000 #households from 252 locations in Central Africa, it is clear that wild meat is a fundamental component of the #diets of #rural populations, accounting for 20% of the recommended daily #protein intake, compared with 13% and 6% for those living in towns and cities. The total annual #biomass of wild meat consumed in Central Africa increased from 0.73 million to 1.10 million tonnes between 2000 and 2022, with increasing demand from towns and cities. To ensure that wild meat is available to rural communities, in accordance with the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals and the #KunmingMontrealGlobalBiodiversityFramework, reducing wild meat consumption in urban metropolises is key."

Arrived last night safely in Lobo, #Serengeti. Today is arrivals day for our workshop on #wildmeat, with last minute planning for us as others travel. It is going to be a really interesting few days with some very senior people and some great researchers from all over #Tanzania. Snaring is an indiscriminate method of harvest that is a significant #conservation issue in many areas. We looking for radical ideas this week!
