Wild Meat

Caption

Local communities in Madagascar often rely on wildlife as a dietary source, a situation that could lead to unsustainable hunting of species such as fruit bats (shown here as the main ingredient for stew). The authors of the study recommend using poultry and other domestic meat alternatives to promote the health of growing children and protect wildlife.
