Bushmeat

Protecting endangered species has always been a difficult task in those regions outside of the United States. In fact, many endangered species across the Congo Basin of Africa, such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and elephants, are on the verge of becoming extinct. It turns out that these animals are being killed for bushmeat, which refers to the hunting of wild animals (including those that are endangered) for food.
