During 8 weeks, in the Mundoasi market, one of two principal market of Bata, 4328 wild animal carcases have been indexed, representating 22,600 kg of biomass. A total of 48 animals species have been identified, including 14 which hunting are prohibited. The mammals represent 91.87% of total number with 3 dominants orders, ungulates (37.7%), primates (28.6%) and rodents (18%). The duiker (Cephalophus), the African Brushtailed Porcupine and Guenon are the most important. The district of Niefang, Bata and Evinayong are the principal sources of supply. Hunting with gun becomes very important, follow by snaring, a very wasteful method. Despite that this business squarely growth, signs of wildlife decrease are perceptible, showing evidence of overexploitation. As far as Monte Alen National Park is concerned, this study shows the positive effects of this protected area as wildlife reservoir for peripheral hunting zones.
