Abstract:

This project forms a component of the BMZ-funded programme with TRAFFIC entitled "Vulnerable People, Diminishing Wildlife: Addressing priority bushmeat trade, livelihood and food security issues in Africa". The illegal trade in bushmeat represents a severe conservation threat in several African countries. However, in Namibia, wildlife-based land uses (WBLU) and the legal production of game meat have potential to contribute significantly to conservation, food security and the economy of the country. A structured questionnaire survey of farmers in Namibia was used to gain insights into WBLU on freehold land in the country and links with food security.
