A balancing act between wildlife conservation and food security
In Gabon’s Mulundi Department, where rural communities rely on wildlife for food security and income, a multi-disciplinary team coordinated by CIRAD is piloting an initiative to protect wild animals without compromising the traditional diets and livelihoods of local people. Rather than sanctioning communities for consuming wildmeat, the project is working with villagers and local hunters to develop practical tools to sustainably manage this rich resource.
