Introduction
I have worked in this reserve for over 20 years and I’m passionate about fostering co-management of the land between native inhabitants and government agencies. Bushmeat hunting is an important economic activity that has been traditionally used by rural poor of the Amazon. If well managed, bushmeat hunting can provide long-term socioeconomic benefits to local communities and help conserve Amazonian biodiversity through maintaining intact rainforests. If poorly managed, bushmeat hunting will lead to the extirpation of animal populations, reduced socioeconomic benefits that rural people obtain from wildlife, and a decreased value of intact forests.Our research team includes
