Eating and conserving bushmeat in Africa by Wilkie, D.S., Wieland, M., Boulet, H., Le Bel, S., Vliet, N. van, Cornelis, D., BriacWarnon, V., Nasi, Robert, Fa, J.E.

“…Four principal barriers need to be overcome: (i) communities are not motivated to conserve wildlife long‐term because they have no formal rights to benefit from wildlife, or to exclude others from taking it on their land; (ii) multispecies harvests, typical of bushmeat hunting scenarios, place large‐bodied species at risk of extinction; (iii) wildlife production cannot expand, in the same way that livestock farming can, to meet the expected growth in consumer demand; and (iv) wildlife habitat is lost through conversion to agriculture, housing, transportation networks and extractive industries. …”

Short window of opportunity for brown bear (Ursus arctos) predation on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) calves by Kjellberg, Linnéa Eleonora

“…Mobility of the reindeer calves is assumed to be a determining factor affecting hunting success, since encounters then decrease. The two most feasible ways to minimize predation by brown bears can be to; 1) ensure that there is an adequate proportion of male reindeer in the herds so that all female reindeer are mated during the first rutting period and; 2) to minimize human disturbances during sensitive periods such as the rutting and calving period.…”
