Kenya’s wild bird meat trade overlooked
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Mar 09 2009 | By: Martin Odino
So it appears we are yet to witness the worst as Paul Redfern, author of the article Health alert over rise in bush trade in The EastAfrican has elaborated. “…rising food prices, a rash of crop failures and wide-ranging impacts of the global recession have led to a rise in bushmeat trade in Kenya.”
A pity the scenario of wild bird meat trade has not been highlighted. Thanks to the underground operations made even more so by the silent killing effects of Furadan.
It is painful to look at the bulky, shocking figures of the bushmeat exports spelling doom to Kenya’s once very rich and almost intact biodiversity. This has to stop!
