Article Synopsis
- The trade in wild meat is crucial for the livelihoods of rural communities but is linked to wildlife decline and health risks, especially highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- In Iquitos, Peru, wild meat sales rose significantly over 45 years, with urban population growth driving this trend, yet it only accounted for a small percentage (1-2%) of overall meat consumption.
- The analysis suggests that future strategies should focus on community management of wildlife, continued bans on trading threatened species, and improved hygiene practices in wild-meat markets to minimize health risks and preserve biodiversity.
