Question

Bush meat is meat from wildlife species including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds that are hunted for human consumption in tropical forests. Bush meat is an important food resource for poor people, in particular in rural areas. The numbers of animals killed and traded as bush meat in the 1990s in West and Central Africa were thought to be unsustainable. By 2005, commercial harvesting and trading of bush meat was considered a threat to biodiversity.

As of 2016, 301 terrestrial mammals were threatened with extinction due to hunting for bush meat including primates, even-toed ungulates, bats, marsupials, rodents and carnivores occurring in developing countries. Bush meat provides increased opportunity for transmission of several zootomic viruses from animal hosts to humans, such as Ebola virus, HIV, and various species of corona virus including the Wuhan corona virus outbreak.
