Slide 3 - The Conservation Problem

The "Conservation Problem" slide presents stark stats on bushmeat trade and deforestation. It notes 60% of bushmeat species at extinction risk from wild meat trade (IUCN), over 5 million animals hunted yearly for urban markets, and 25% of annual forest loss in the Cameroon Congo Basin.

The Conservation Problem

  • 60%: Bushmeat Extinction Risk
  • Wild meat trade drives risk - IUCN

  • 5M+: Animals Hunted Yearly
  • Primarily for urban markets

  • 25%: Annual Forest Loss
