The protected areas of the Amazon Basin provide a core refuge for many threatened forest mammals species, but their effectiveness in wildlife conservation is poorly documented. To better understand impact on mammal Basin, this study evaluates diversity, abundance, and status medium large borderland sector Peru's Ichigkat Muja - Cordillera del Cóndor National Park. Over two field seasons, total 26 forest-dwelling species belonging to 19 families were recorded using camera traps surveys. In comparison with regional reference sites, 63% sites documented area. drivers diversity abundance within area assessed park guard reports, published literature, regression analysis, intactness local fauna was evaluated sites. A combination factors explain area, including geography human activities. Given location Peru its adjacency border Ecuador, long-term park's depends binational efforts that invest collaborative institutions communities. This case provides an example how can present challenging scenarios require collaboration. current condition at-risk also underlines importance consistent field-based monitoring inform management evaluate effectiveness.

Several hundred species are hunted for wild meat in the tropics, supporting diets, customs, and livelihoods of millions people. However, unsustainable hunting is one most urgent threats to wildlife ecosystems worldwide has serious ramifications people whose subsistence income tied meat. Over past 18 years, although research efforts have increased, scientific knowledge largely not translated into action. One major barrier progress been insufficient monitoring evaluation, meaning that effectiveness interventions cannot be ascertained. Emerging issues include difficulty designing regulatory frameworks disentangle different purposes hunting, large scale urban consumption, implications consumption human health. To address these intractable challenges, wepropose eight new recommendations action sustainable use, which would support achievement United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract The trade of bushmeat from rural areas to supply burgeoning cities is a major conservation and livelihood concern. Using whole-city sampling strategy we mapped the distribution numbers meat outlets in Kinshasa–Brazzaville metropolitan area, two neighboring capital Central Africa. We show that both differ number density outlets, with more Brazzaville per area sampled inhabitants. related human population densities primarily concentrated along banks Congo River, affluent cities. Across cities, roughly 22% all markets (50% 19% Kinshasa) 24% visited restaurants (24% each city) were selling during our survey. Despite relatively low establishments offering for sale, extrapolated entire expect overall amount wild animal consumed annum be significantly high. suggest such will strongly impact populations sourcing these Our data also indicate domestic may adequate urban dwellers sufficient protein.

Consuming wildmeat may protect against iron-deficiency anemia, a serious public health problem globally. Contributing to debates on the linkages between and of forest-proximate people, we investigate whether consumption is associated with hemoglobin concentration in rural urban children (< 5 years old) central Brazilian Amazonia. Because dietary practices mediate potential nutritional benefits wildmeat, also examined its introduction into children's diets influenced by rural/urban location or household socio-economic characteristics. Sampling 610 children, found that higher among most vulnerable poverty, but not least rural, children. Rural caregivers share earlier-in-life than caregivers, potentially because cultural differences, lower access domesticated meat, households (four times average).

Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is a major driver of biodiversity loss, threatening countless species, including pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) and vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus pygerythrus ). This study analyzed causes admission, medical findings, outcomes orphaned at the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre (LWC) in Malawi from 2019–2023 to understand impact these species’ common threats. Medical records 83 animals (34 pangolins, 49 vervets) were reviewed. Chi-squared tests assessed associations between variables. IWT was primary cause admission for (97.1%) (53.1%). Pangolins confiscated often presented as dehydrated (48.5%), underweight (42.4%), lethargic (27.3%), with necropsies frequently revealing pneumonia (83.3%) gastric ulcers (50%). Top pangolin included death (36.4%) release (30.3%). Vervets admitted either ex-pets or intercepted while being sold pets bushmeat. Ex-pets all exhibited unremarkable physical exams, vervets displayed injuries rope (38.5%) malnourishment (23.1%). remaining care LWC (80.8%) (7.7%). Admissions both species peaked during months September through February, aligning closely breeding cycles hot, wet season (November-April). highlights main threats face underscores need targeted conservation strategies mitigate Understanding clinical trends can inform rescue, rehabilitation, efforts, contributing ecologically vital species.
