Bushmeat Project
With a mission to preserve humanity's living wildlife heritage, the Bushmeat Project's goals are: to achieve worldwide recognition of the devastating effects of the commercial bushmeat trade; to encourage and organize long-term programs and urgent pilot projects that will stop the slaughter of great apes and other endangered animals; and to establish viable alternatives to bushmeat commerce that serve people, wildlife, and diverse natural and cultural heritage.

Bushmeat Crisis Task Force
In Africa, forest is often referred to as 'the bush', thus wildlife and the meat derived from it is referred to as 'bushmeat' (in French - viande de brousse). The Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF) facilitates the work of its members in identifying and implementing effective and appropriate solutions to the commercial exploitation of endangered and threatened species.
