Tropical rainforests worldwide are facing declines in wildlife due to excessive hunting. However, the implementation of strict conservation policies is also threatening the survival of local hunting cultures. To resolve this wild meat crisis, cooperation between local knowledge and science is essential, based on equal dialogue between local communities and conservation organisations. Through co-production research, we aim to establish locally led, sustainable hunting management systems.
