 Bioko Island contains a large bushmeat market, the Malabo market, which is quite similar to those of mainland Africa.Bushmeat itself is an important resource for Bioko Island, both economically and nutritionally, and both hunting and consumption have increased in relation to Equatorial Guinea's GDP.Bushmeat is preferably consumed over other sources of protein by the island's two major ethnic groups, the Bubi and the Fang, though the Fang show a higher preference for primates specifically.
