| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the African forests, there has been a conflict between local people who eat wild animals as a principal protein source and conservation agencies who control their hunting. This conflict has been sharpened as one between between global concerns (biodiversity conservation) and local concerns (livelihoods). However, if wildlife were depleted it would be a serious problem for local people as well. Both sides therefore should be able to share a common awareness of the problem. Against this backgrounds, this project carried out ecological studies on wildlife ecology and anthropological studies on resources use and indigenous knowledge, and proposed an indicator for monitoring of game animals that can be used by local people because it is based on their familiar knowledge and accountable to conservation agencies because it is based on scientifically valid methods.
