Wildlife Farming Rapid Literature Search Included Studies

This dataset documents the geographic location, taxonomic focus, DOI, and research focus of the 103 studies that met our inclusion criteria during our rapid literature search of wildlife farming. We utilised the online Web of Science database, searching for studies with the keywords [“captive breeding” or “wildlife farming” or “commercial breeding” or “breeding farms”]. We included studies that documented aspects of the supply, trade, or consumption of captive-bred products or studies that assessed the biological and economic feasibility, hygiene and morality of wildlife farming. Studies were excluded where wildlife farming was only mentioned as a future direction in the field of wildlife trade or documented non-terrestrial and plant species.
