CBD: Bushmeat Report

Key recommendations from a report prepared for the CBD Bushmeat Liaison Group include:
- implementation of community wildlife management and other improved wildlife-management approaches, such as game-ranching and hunting tourism;
- increase of raising of “mini-livestock'”(wild animals such as cane rats raised in small farms); and
- support of sustainable harvesting of non-timber forest products, such as bee-keeping.
The report also recognizes the need to clarify and define land-tenure and access rights, improve monitoring of bushmeat harvesting and trade, and enhance bushmeat-related law enforcement .
