An interdisciplinary approach to analysing the bushmeat trade in central and west Africa Copyright © Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) 2003 KEYWORDS west and central Africa • bushmeat • economic commodity-chain approach • livelihoods • wildlife • biodiversity ABSTRACTBushmeat is a large but largely invisible contributor to the economies of west and central African countries. Yet the trade is currently unsustainable. Hunting is reducing wildlife populations, driving more vulnerable species to local and regional extinction, and threatening biodiversity. This paper uses a commodity chain approach to explore the bushmeat trade and to demonstrate why an interdisciplinary approach is required if the trade is to be sustainable in the future.
