Abstract
Liberian forests and the fauna they contain are a conservation priority within the Upper Guinea Forest block. However, the rate of bushmeat consumption in the country is potentially a threat to its biodiversity. Wild meat and the bushmeat trade represents a resource from which a wide range of Liberians benefit, unlike the timber and mining industries. The challenge ahead is to find a compromise that meets the nation’s biodiversity conservation goals, while integrating the management of this valuable natural resource into a broader framework that increases national and community management capacity.
