Hunting techniques and their harvest as indicators of mammal diversity and threat in Northern Angola

Abstract: Over-exploitation of wildlife especially bushmeat trade is the second most important threat to animal biodiversity. This also applies to Northern Angola but data on bushmeat and hunting techniques for this region are rare. Therefore, we study the most common hunting techniques, frequently captured species, and their economic value, and discuss the local resource use in relation to Angolan law and urgent global crises like the loss of biodiversity, the food supply in South African countries, and the risk of zoo… Show more

“…The type of vegetation burned, and the timing and frequency of fire both depend on land management practices (Meller et al, 2022 ). Grasslands burn in the early dry season (June to July) to aid in hunting practices and clear village surroundings, and woodlands are burnt late in the dry season (August to September) to prepare fields for the growing season (Meller et al, 2022 ; Teutloff et al, 2021 ), consistent with the fire regimes for the grasslands and miombo woodlands in the study area. Van Wilgen et al ( 2022 ) hypothesise that humans do not change the fire frequency, but that they can change the amount of landscape that is flammable.…”
