This aims at facilitating and studying the management and community governance of hunting at the scale of all twenty-one villages in our project landscape. Specifically, the research will:
- Analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics of bushmeat across all the 21 villages in the study landscape.
- Understand how this data is used (or not) in decision-making by these villages – and the way in which gender takes part – in their management and community governance of hunting.
- Identify the social and ecological conditions that facilitate or prevent the establishment of community hunting management and governance
