WILDMEAT Database strengthens evidence for sustainable wild meat governance

The WILDMEAT Database provides open access to the most comprehensive global data on wild meat hunting, consumption and market sales, supporting evidence-based approaches to sustainable use of wild species. 

By bringing together hundreds of studies from around the world into a single, standardised platform, the database allows policymakers, practitioners, researchers and civil society to move beyond isolated case studies and identify broader patterns and trends over time and across regions.

The database includes data on hunting offtakes, household and individual consumption, and market sales, with built-in safeguards to ensure anonymity and ethical data use. When used for monitoring and evaluation, time-series data can also help assess the effectiveness of wild meat management and policy interventions.
