| dc.description | Background
• Wild lands have shrunk and degraded in the face of expanding human populations and agriculture;
• Rifles, fast vehicles, and widespread armed conflict and unrest have helped wipe out wildlife populations across vast areas;
• Previously remote forest and desert areas are exposed to intensive hunting along rapidly spreading networks of logging, oil, mining and road construction projects;
• Pronounced urbanization in Africa and the growing African diaspora abroad has greatly increased the demand for bushmeat;
• rapidly expanding human populations and settlement are creating a surge in human-wildlife conflict especially with ‘problem’ wildlife populations – lions, elephants, great apes among them;
• the export in live wildlife and animal parts is linked to enormous international demand and largely unregulated and illegal trade networks | en_US |
