This dissertation addresses the question of the sustainability of the current dynamics of bushmeat hunting by local communities in there Serengeti ecosystem as well as attempt to understand the preferences and demand for animal protein in these households, and finally to test the potential for reducing demand for bushmeat through an intervention measure aimed at improving access to alternative protein sources. In this dissertation, I use a multi-faceted approach to explore the current drivers of bushmeat hunting in the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, and attempt to quantify the real threat to wildlife populations. Utilizing dietary recall consumption surveys, household socio-economic questionnaires, I integrate almost ideal demand systems analysis and evaluate the impact of protein alternatives in reducing consumption of bushmeat.
