Journal ArticleDOI

Jesús Olivero,Julia E. Fa,Julia E. Fa,Raimundo Real,Ana Luz Márquez,Miguel Ángel Farfán,J. Mario Vargas,David L. A. Gaveau,Mohammad A. Salim,Douglas Post Park,Jamison Suter,Shona King,Siv Aina J. Leendertz,Douglas Sheil,Robert Nasi +14 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the increased probability of an EVD outbreak occurring in a site is linked to recent deforestation events, and that preventing the loss of forests could reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Past, present and future of wild ungulates in relation to changes in land use
Pelayo Acevedo,Miguel Ángel Farfán,Ana Luz Márquez,Miguel Delibes-Mateos,Raimundo Real,J. M. Vargas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of land-use changes on the distribution of wild ungulates (Capreolus capreolaus, Capra pyrenaica, Cervus elaphus and Sus scrofa) were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and Numbers of Pygmies in Central African Forests
Jesús Olivero,Julia E. Fa,Julia E. Fa,Miguel Ángel Farfán,J. D. Lewis,Barry S. Hewlett,Thomas Breuer,Giuseppe M. Carpaneto,Maria G. Salas Fernandez,Francesco Germi,Shiho Hattori,Josephine Head,Mitsuo Ichikawa,Koichi Kitanaishi,Jessica Knights,Naoki Matsuura,Andrea Bamberg Migliano,Barbara Nese,Andrew J. Noss,Dieudonné Ongbwa Ekoumou,Pascale Paulin,Raimundo Real,Mike Riddell,Edward G. J. Stevenson,Mikako Toda,J. Mario Vargas,Hirokazu Yasuoka,Robert Nasi +27 more
TL;DR: It is argued that fragmentation of the existing Pygmy populations, alongside pressure from extractive industries and sometimes conflict with conservation areas, endanger their future and there is an urgent need to inform policies that can mitigate against future external threats to these indigenous peoples’ culture and lifestyles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling the relative effects of bushmeat availability on human nutrition in central Africa
John E. Fa,Jesús Olivero,Raimundo Real,Miguel Ángel Farfán,Ana Luz Márquez,J. M. Vargas,Stefan Ziegler,Martin Wegmann,Brown D,Margetts B,Robert Nasi +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in MRD areas, forest wildlife rational use for better human nutrition is possible and relatively low human populations in DRD areas currently offer abundant opportunities for the continued protection of more vulnerable mammals and allow dietary needs of local populations to be met.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of bushmeat in markets and depletion of wildlife
John E. Fa,John E. Fa,John E. Fa,Jesús Olivero,Miguel Ángel Farfán,Ana Luz Márquez,Jesús Duarte,Janet Nackoney,Amy Hall,Jef Dupain,Sarah Seymour,Paul J. Johnson,David W. Macdonald,Raimundo Real,Juan M. Vargas +14 more
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that human activity is correlated with more depleted bushmeat faunas and can be used as a proxy to determine areas in need of conservation action.
