- Title
CONGO: Hunting Ban.
- Abstract
The article reports on the hunting ban in the timber-concession areas enforced by the Congo government, Congolese Wood Industries, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. The ban has made life even more difficult for the Baka community, an indigenous hunter-gatherer group living in that areas. It resulted in increased malnutrition among children and vulnerable adults. The Baka and human rights groups said the ban jeopardized the Baka traditional way of life and threatens their food security.
