NO 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
