'An excellent introduction to the cultural, economic, and health implications of bushmeat' -- Foreign Affairs
'Everyone interested in people and wildlife should read this book. Every parliamentarian in the Congo Basin should read this book. Some may disagree with the author, but each of his chapters is excellent. Together they are a masterpiece.' -- David Wilkie, Director of Conservation Measures, Wildlife Conservation Society
'In sub-Saharan Africa, bushmeat consumption is not only cultural; it’s a survival issue. How to preserve biodiversity and prevent zoonotic risks, while fighting against hunger accentuated by climate change? These are the main questions that emerge from this timely, important book.' -- Priscilla Omouendze Mouaragadja, Research Director, Ecole Nationale des Eaux et Forets (Gabon)
'A highly readable volume which I very much recommend. Without taking sides, Trefon skilfully tackles the issues surrounding wildlife conservation and use. This is an excellently written synopsis of one of the most important issues affecting biodiversity in today’s world.' -- Julia Fa, Professor of Biodiversity and Human Development, Manchester Metropolitan University
'An engaging and immersive history contributing valuable new information and insights from a variety of perspectives, particularly in its rich ethnographic account of the needs and values of local African populations.' -- Jack Jenkins, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Anthropology, Durham University
