Dale Peterson's impassioned exposé details how, with the unprecedented opening of African forests by European and Asian logging companies, the traditional consumption of wild animal meat in Central Africa has suddenly exploded in scope and impact, moving from what was recently a subsistence activity to an enormous and completely unsustainable commercial enterprise. Although the three African great apes account for only about one percent of the commercial bush meat trade, today's rate of slaughter could bring about their extinction in the next few decades. Supported by compelling color photographs by award-winning photographer Karl Ammann, Eating Apes documents the when, where, how, and why of this rapidly accelerating disaster. Eating Apes persuasively argues that the American conservation media have failed to report the ongoing collapse of the ape population. In bringing the facts of this crisis and these impending extinctions into a single, accessible book, Peterson takes us one step closer to averting one of the most disturbing threats to our closest relatives. 410 0$aCalifornia studies in food and culture ;$v6. 606 $aApes$zAfrica, Central 606 $aWildlife conservation$zAfrica, Central 606 $aApe meat industry$zAfrica, Central 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aApes 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aApe meat industry 676 $a333.95/98/0967 686 $aWT 2789$2rvk 700 $aPeterson$b Dale$01053785 701 $aAmmann$b Karl$0510723 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455309303321 996 $aEating apes$92485871 997 $aUNINA
