Organizations We Support
Bushmeat Crisis Task Force
The Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF) was formed in 1999 to fulfill a mission of building a public, professional and government constituency aimed at identifying and supporting solutions that effectively respond to the bushmeat crisis in Africa and around the world. Solving the bushmeat crisis requires multiple short-term and long-term interventions in many areas. BCTF members work individually to support actions in the field that directly address human and wildlife impacts of the bushmeat crisis. We work together through the BCTF project to manage information towards our goals of engaging key decision makers, facilitating education and training and raising public awareness.
