Profiling of bushmeat value chain actors in the northern sector of Ghana for targeted interventions to reduce zoonotic disease and public health risks

Northern Ghana's bushmeat trade is a multifaceted social, economic, and public health issue that requires targeted interventions to enhance sanitation, develop new revenue streams, and more effectively implement laws protecting wildlife. To effectively deal with these problems, all stakeholders, including local communities, government agencies, and NGOs, need to work together to find a sustainable balance between protecting biodiversity, public health, and the economic wellbeing of rural people.

Abstract

Northern Ghana's bushmeat trade is a multifaceted social, economic, and public health issue that requires targeted interventions to enhance sanitation, develop new revenue streams, and more effectively implement laws protecting wildlife. To effectively deal with these problems, all stakeholders, including local communities, government agencies, and NGOs, need to work together to find a sustainable balance between protecting biodiversity, public health, and the economic wellbeing of rural people.
