How many people eat monkey?

The consumption of monkey meat, known as bushmeat, occurs in various regions, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia, where it is sometimes considered a delicacy or a traditional food source. While exact numbers are difficult to determine, it is estimated that millions of people may consume monkey meat in these areas due to cultural practices and dietary needs. However, hunting and eating primates raise significant health concerns, including the risk of zoonotic diseases, as well as ethical and conservation issues related to endangered species.
