Traders in bushmeat and hunters have launched the National Bushmeat Association of Ghana to effectively regulate their business activities.
It is also to promote the sustainability of the bushmeat industry to benefit key actors in the industry and ensure biodiversity conservation.
Bushmeat is meat from wildlife species hunted for human consumption and sold in notable markets such as Atwemonom in Kumasi, Takoradi Market, Techiman, and the Kantamanto markets.
It is a primary source of fresh animal protein and income for hunters and traders.
