301 mammal species at risk due to meat trade: Study
A world-first global assessment of human hunting impacts found that 301 mammal species are primarily at risk from human hunting for the bushmeat trade. The list includes 168 primate species, 21 rodent species and 12 carnivore species. Earlier, in 2011, the Center for International Forestry Research had estimated that six million tonnes of bushmeat were being extracted each year.
