Hama (traditional trap)

Hama is a traditional trap used primarily in fishing and hunting, notably in some Asian cultures. It consists of a sturdy structure, often made from natural materials like wood or reeds, designed to capture animals or fish. The trap typically employs a triggering mechanism that activates when an animal interacts with it, leading to a quick closure, trapping the prey inside. Hama traps are valued for their efficiency and are often utilized in sustainable practices, helping local communities rely on their environment for food while minimizing waste and preserving traditions.
