  • Regional patterns of wild animal hunting in African tropical forests

    Open AccessDaniel J Ingram, Graden Z L Froese et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025Referências: 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…

  • Wild animal attacks and other occupational risks perceived by Indigenous hunters and fishers in the Yangambi landscape

    Open AccessNathalie Van Vliet, Francis Massé et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2024

  • Flexible local ecological knowledge surveillance indicators reveal long-term change in the Yangambi wildmeat system

    Open AccessSamuel Shephard, Jonas Nyumu et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2024

    Conservation and management in Indigenous hunting systems requires an understanding of social-ecological change. We present the Flexible Local Ecological Knowledge Surveillance Indicators (FLEKSI) framework, which uses standardized questionnaires to derive time series of semi-quantitative LEK state indicators that can support ecosystem-based management. We applied FLEKSI in the Weko hunting territory of the Yangambi landscape, Democratic Republic…

  • Vulnerability and coping strategies within wild meat trade networks during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessCharis Enns, Nathalie Van Vliet et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2023Citada por: 2Referências: 21

    Measures adopted to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and economic shocks caused by the pandemic have affected food networks globally, including wild meat trade networks that support the livelihoods and food security of millions of people around the world. In this article, we examine how COVID-related shocks have affected the vulnerability and coping strategies of different actors along wild meat trade networks. Informed by 1,876 questionnaires carr…

  • Comparison of local ecological knowledge versus camera trapping to establish terrestrial wildlife baselines in community hunting territories within the Yangambi landscape in the Democratic Republic of…

    Open AccessN Van Vliet, Francesco Rovero et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2023Citada por: 1Referências: 50

    Baseline population data are fundamental to the development of wildlife management plans and are usually generated based on field surveys using sampling tools such as camera traps (CT). However, this method can be costly and ineffective with rare species or in wildlife-depleted areas. An alternative is to complement baseline wildlife population data with Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK)-based methods. We compared LEK and CT surveys in terms of th…

  • Understanding Factors that Shape Exposure to Zoonotic and Food-Borne Diseases Across Wild Meat Trade Chains

    Open AccessNathalie Van Vliet, Jonas Muhindo et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2022

    The rise of zoonotic disease-related public health crises has sparked calls for policy action, including calls to close wildlife markets. Yet, these calls often reflect limited understanding of where, precisely, exposure to risk occurs along wildlife and wild meat trade chains. They also threaten to negatively impact food security and livelihoods. From a public health perspective, it is important to understand the practices that shape food safety…

  • How Do Local Folks Value Wild Meat, and Why It Matters? A Study in the Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessNathalie Van Vliet, Jonas Kambale Nyumu et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2022

    We elucidate the value orientations (VOs) towards wild meat/wildlife in the Tshopo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, distinguishing between the provincial capital and rural areas. Based on stories prompted by four primary emotions, the most frequently encountered VOs were: concern for safety, nutrition and taste, and caring/respect. Rural people were more likely to express anthropocentric VOs. However, their stories did not necessaril…

  • Reducing Wild Meat Sales and Promoting Local Food Security

    Open AccessNathalie Van Vliet, Ahtziri Gonzalez et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2022Citada por: 1Referências: 36

    Marketing strategies to promote behavioral change are increasingly used to reduce the unsustainable use of wild meat. One of the mayor keys for success of behavior change campaigns lies in the choice of the channel for communication and the messaging. In this research, we present a behavioral change campaign implemented in Yangambi, Democratic Republic of Congo framed around an integrated conservation and development objective: improve food secur…
