From 1999 - 2009, the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force members and staff worked together to fulfill its mission of building a public, professional and government constituency aimed at identifying and supporting solutions that effectively respond to the bushmeat crisis in Africa and around the world. While the formal collaboration has ended, BCTF members and former staff continue to work in the field, on policy and with stakeholders around the world. The BCTF website continues to showcase the results of our decade of work and provides the Bushmeat IMAP's archive of bushmeat publications and projects.
