Important finding for #conservation planning and #protectedarea management

New paper from Rodel's fast progressing PhD now out in @consbiog.bsky.social! Shotgun cartridges & wire snares reveal patterns of human hunting activity in the unprotected Ebo forest in Cameroon. Long-term approach with data from 2008-2023. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thrilled to share our newly published paper and my first first-author paper. We used hunting sign data from long-term monitoring in the Ebo forest, Littoral-Cameroon, to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of hunting activities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

When planning wildlife conservation with local communities, I value this species just as much as I value flagship species such as chimpanzees and elephants. Their high resilience to hunting helps in absorbing the hunting pressure, allowing other less resilient species to thrive.

As part of a bachelor thesis, we observed very high predation rates in nest boxes caused by invasive raccoons. Over 50% of broods in standard nest boxes were predated. This highlights the urgent need for adjustments to mitigate raccoon predation.
