See the Award winning documentary on Bushmeat ‘Students of Consequence’ produced by the High Tech High (HTH) students to demonstrate the impact students can have on global conservation and to raise awareness of the African bushmeat trade.
DNA barcoding method for Bushmeat
The highly innovative conservation forensics students developed a simple technique of identifying bushmeat using DNA barcoding. They hope to bring this technology to East Africa where it is urgently needed to help in prosecution of bushmeat cases and in the monitoring of the illegal bushmeat trade. HTH is working closely with the USFWS MENTOR Fellowship program and will host a DNA barcoding workshops for the fellows, students and wildlife officials in Mweka, Tanzania in June this year.
