Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP), covering a total area of 1978 km2 is one of Uganda’s ten national parks and home to a wide variety of wildlife. A large number of species are targeted for bushmeat inside the park, including the hippopotamus (hereafter hippo), buffalo, antelope, kob, warthog, giant forest hog and reedbuck. Bushmeat is defined as meat from wild animals that have been hunted illegally, either for personal consumption or commercial trade. Wildlife is also targeted for non-food uses such as traditional medicine, household raw materials for making ornaments, cultural practices such as witchcraft, skins for traditionalists, and to protect people’s gardens from damage. |
