Abstract:
The IUCN/SSC African Elephant Specialist Group AfESG) has been charged by MIKE with implementing a project to investigate the linkages between the elephant meat trade and larger social and economic dynamics at play, including, but not limited to, ivory trade, logging (legal and illegal), mining, infrastructure development, global economic trends, law enforcement at the national and international level, and community forest governance. This report presents the results of a pilot project carried out in ROC to assess the importance of elephant bushmeat as a causative factor in the illegal killing of elephants.
