Conduct surveys of bushmeat trade in Monrovia, Liberia, particularly to collect data on volumes and species traded and factors that affect supply of bushmeat to the market (such as the price of gasoline and ammunition). Investigate the potential outlets for bushmeat to enter international markets. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the Philadelphia Zoo, which will provide assistance and oversight of survey methods and data analysis.

Strategic Direction: 2 Establishing a Hotspot Biodiversity Monitoring System
