Bushmeat is an important delicacy both for the rural populace as for the city dwellers. Most of the restaurants in the region and urban areas do have bushmeat on the menu. The heavy consumption by many has led to a strong demand for bushmeat. The bushmeat trade is quite a bustling business and an important income source for mostly the jobless who come in from the distant areas to settle in lobeke. Majority of wildlife species in the region is hunted for food as could be seen in the picture where crocodile meat is sold in a local restaurant in moloundou, Southeast Cameroon.
Fishing is also an important activity and a major protein source beside bushmeat.
Most of the local people especially the baka pygmies are actively involved in fishing during the fishing period which usually runs from November through March. Most of the fishing is done in the Lac Lobeke area known for its richness in shrimps. The bakes live in temporary huts. The people live together and share whatever is collected. The Jengi spirit reigns amongst them as strongly manifested in their ability to share with one another.
