The journal Africa has just published Jack Jenkins’ review of Bushmeat. Here’s the doi: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0001972023000670.

Dear Dr. Trefon-

Just a quick note to say that I very much enjoyed reading your recent book on Bushmeat. It's also an invaluable resource for a class on One Health I offer here at FSU.

Congratulations on a great book and best of luck in your endeavors!

-Eric

The June NatGeo issue has a beautifully illustrated story of the bushmeat trade in Central Africa. It reveals the social and environmental challenges to sustainable wildlife management. The photos of bushmeat traders, hunters, Indigenous Mbuti and the Maluku/Kinshasa river port give life to the ‘From Forest to Table’ framework designed and implemented by Wildlife Conservation Society.

The article by Sagan Friant et al. ‘Eating Bushmeat Improves Food Security in a Biodiversity and Infectious Disease “Hotspot”’ EcoHealth volume 17, pages125–138 (2020) gives interesting arguments about why community-driven initiatives can help understand and address the bushmeat crisis.
