Two graduates of the 2009 San Diego Zoo/Sea World & Busch Gardens Barcoding Bushmeat Workshop facilitated by Dr. Sarah Burgess-Herbert, who are also integral members of the Bushmeat-free Eastern Africa Network, presented their findings and made the case for barcoding as a necessary tool for combating the illegal bushmeat trade at the 3rd International Barcode of Life Conference in Mexico City in November. Vincent Opeyene, a prosecutor with Uganda Wildlife Authority, presented a talk, and Iregi Mwenja, a researcher at East African Wildlife Society, presented a poster.

The purpose of this website is to help coordinate in one place the information needed to better develop and apply DNA barcoding technology to the fight against unsustainable trade in wildlife. It was started as a result of discussions at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona (Oct 2008) and at the International Primatological Society's Annual Congress in Edinburgh (Aug 2008). It will be a site that is part database, part wiki, and part 'match-maker'. I welcome your input and assistance!
