鉴于城市消费在丛林肉贸易中的重要贡献，城市市场的丛林肉销售信息可以为理解这一贸易的动态及其对保护和粮食安全的影响提供有价值的见解。我们监测了基桑加尼（刚果民主共和国东方省首府）市场的丛林肉交易，并比较了2002年和2008-2009年调查收集的数据。在这两个时期，超过三分之二的出售的尸体是啮齿动物和有蹄类动物。从2002年到2008-2009年，由于中型物种（10 - 50公斤）的显著减少和小型物种（<10公斤）的显著增加，尸体数量增加了44%，但等效生物量仅增加了16%。大型物种的尸体数量在这两个时期之间增加了，而昼行猴的尸体数量增加了四倍。在这两个时期，烟熏丛林肉是全年最便宜的蛋白质来源之一，此外还有只有在雨季才能吃到的毛虫和猪肉。其他国内肉类的价格明显较高。这项研究发现，霍加狓（okapi）和小猴（Okapia johnstoni）等高度受威胁物种的市场有所增加，受保护物种继续存在，并强调了丛林肉对无法负担其他蛋白质来源的城市贫困人口的粮食安全作用。
Abstract Given the important contribution of urban consumption in bushmeat trade, information on bushmeat sales in urban markets can provide valuable insights for understanding the dynamics of this trade and its implications for conservation and food security. We monitored bushmeat traded in the market of Kisangani (the provincial capital of the Province Orientale in the Democratic Republic of Congo) and compared data collected in surveys in 2002 and 2008–2009. In both periods more than two-thirds of the carcasses sold were of rodents and ungulates. From 2002 to 2008–2009 the number of carcasses increased by 44% but the equivalent biomass by only 16% because of a significant decrease in medium-sized species (10–50 kg) and an increase in small species (<10 kg). The number of carcasses of large species increased between the two periods and those of diurnal monkeys increased fourfold. In both periods smoked bushmeat was one of the cheapest sources of protein available year-round, together with caterpillars, which were only available during the rainy season, and pork. Prices of other domestic meat were significantly higher. This study identified an increase in the market of highly threatened species such as okapi Okapia johnstoni and small diurnal monkeys and the continued presence of protected species, and also highlights the food security role that bushmeat plays for poor urban people who cannot afford alternative sources of protein.
