  • The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa

    Open AccessJoshua Bauld, Lauren Coad et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems. Here, we conduct a national‐scale analysis of how urbanization, market access and price impact the use of wild and alternative meat and fish in…

  • The impact of Covid ‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

    Open AccessYuhan Li, Lude Kinzonzi et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to wild meat consumption in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Gabon and Republic of the Congo and…

  • Implications of human‐nature interactions for livelihoods and conservation in Kasungu, Malawi

    Open AccessLessah Mandoloma, Michael Clark et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Effective conservation strategies require a comprehensive understanding of human‐nature relationships, including the factors driving these interactions. Without this context, interventions risk being impractical or ineffective, potentially leaving both people and nature worse off. We used mixed methods to understand human‐nature interactions in Kasungu, Malawi. We specifically examined people's use of natural resources and perceptions of wildlife…

  • Gender dynamics of tropical wildmeat systems

    Open AccessJasmin Willis, Wahyu Nurbandi et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Wildmeat is a vital natural resource globally, which must be managed sustainably to avoid livelihood insecurity, species decline and biodiversity loss. Women have a pivotal role in harvesting, processing and distributing wildmeat, yet their contributions are often overlooked. Engaging women is essential for sustainable wildmeat management and equitable conservation, which requires an understanding of their roles and influence—an area that remains…

  • Predictors of Frequency and Success of Wild Meat Hunting Trips and Carcass Prices in an African Biodiversity Hotspot

    Open AccessCharles A Emogor, Daniel J Ingram et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2025

    Hunting wild animals for food and income, which is pervasive across tropical regions, drives biodiversity loss. Interventions to promote sustainable wild meat harvesting require information on hunter behavior. Here we monitored the hunting activities of 33 hunters in SE Nigeria over three years (1,106 hunter-months) to identify correlates of (a) the probability of initiating a hunting trip on any given day; (b) trip success - whether an animal wa…

  • Regional patterns of wild animal hunting in African tropical forests

    Open AccessDaniel J Ingram, Graden Z L Froese et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025Referencias: 5

    Wildlife contributes to the diets, livelihoods and socio-cultural activities of people worldwide; however, unsustainable hunting is a major pressure on wildlife. Regional assessments of the factors associated with hunting offtakes are needed to understand the scale and patterns of wildlife exploitation relevant for policy. We synthesized 83 studies across West and Central Africa to identify the factors associated with variation in offtake. Our mo…

  • A global-level assessment of the effectiveness of protected areas at resisting anthropogenic pressures

    Open AccessJonas Geldmann, Andrea Manica et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2019

    One-sixth of the global terrestrial surface now falls within protected areas (PAs), making it essential to understand how far they mitigate the increasing pressures on nature which characterize the Anthropocene. In by far the largest analysis of this question to date and not restricted to forested PAs, we compiled data from 12,315 PAs across 152 countries to investigate their ability to reduce human pressure and how this varies with socioeconomic…

  • Can the Provision of Alternative Livelihoods Reduce the Impact of Wild Meat Hunting in West and Central Africa

    Open AccessSylvia Wicander, Lauren CoadARTICLEConservation and Society2018

    As threats to the world's ecosystems continue to escalate, the demand for evidence-based conservation approaches from conservation scientists, practitioners, policy-makers and donors is growing. Wild meat hunting represents one of the biggest threats to tropical forest ecosystems and various conservation strategies have been employed with the aim of reducing hunting impacts. Alternative livelihood projects have been implemented at the community l…

  • A preliminary assessment of protected area management within the WWF ‘Coastal East Africa’ priority place, Eastern Africa

    Open AccessKathryn Knights, Ivon Cuadros et al.ARTICLEPARKS2014

    We studied the effectiveness of protected area management within a Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) priority place for conservation investment, located in the coastal areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. At least 473 sites in this region have completed Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) assessments since 2003, often associated with Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded projects, but also through work funded by other donors and WW…

  • Effectiveness of terrestrial protected areas in reducing habitat loss and population declines

    Open AccessJonas Geldmann, Megan Barnes et al.ARTICLEBiological Conservation2013

  • Progress towards the CBD protected area management effectiveness targets

    Open AccessLauren Coad, Fiona Leverington et al.ARTICLEPARKS2013

    The management effectiveness of protected areas is a critically important consideration for their conservation success. Over 40 different protected area management effectiveness (PAME) data collection tools have been developed to systematically assess protected area management effectiveness. Many of these assessments have recently been collated into the Global IUCN Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) database. We use the PAME database …

  • Evidence for shifting baseline syndrome in conservation

    Open AccessSarah Papworth, S K Papworth et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2009

    Shifting baseline syndrome (SBS) is often referred to as a key issue for conservation, yet there is little evidence for its existence. The presence of SBS could influence the validity of participatory monitoring, local ecological knowledge, community based conservation, and conservation education. We outline two forms of SBS: (1) generational amnesia, where knowledge extinction occurs because younger generations are not aware of past biological c…
