Mainland Southeast Asia supports some of the richest faunas in the Old-World tropics, overlapping entirely with the megadiverse Indo-Burma and Sundaland biodiversity hotspots, and major bird migratory routes in the East Asian- Australasian Flyway. The exploitation of wildlife for food, medicines, ornaments and other human uses is a well-known threat to Southeast Asia’s biodiversity and has been linked to the declines and extirpations of many of the region’s mammal and bird species. Detailed studies of waterbird trapping in the 1980s then showed that large volumes of waterbirds were harvested in parts of Southeast Asia by local communities for food, reaching potentially unsustainable levels for some rail and shorebird species. However, there is little information or research on the present status of bird hunting and trapping activities across mainland Southeast Asia whilst studies on the wild (bush) meat trade, and available information in the grey literature (i.e. news articles, Youtube videos) has alluded to high levels of bird hunting in several parts of the region. To (1) address knowledge gaps on the extent in which hunting and trapping pressures are affecting wild bird populations, and to (2) build the evidence base to inform decision-makers and guide conservation actions, we undertook a situation analysis with a focus on the six countries of mainland Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Viet Nam and Thailand, as well as Bangladesh which shares a similar biota with the region.
