Sustainable Wildlife Management Programme Newsletter, Issue 5 – March to June 2020
The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security. This Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (OACPS) initiative is funded by the European Union through the 11th European Development Fund (EUR 45 Million). The SWM Programme mobilizes an international group of partner organizations with strong expertise and experience in wildlife conservation, food security and policy development. It is implemented through a consortium partnership, which includes the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD). The SWM Programme is developing innovative, collaborative and scalable new models, which conserve wildlife and protect ecosystems, whilst at the same time improving the living conditions and food security of the people who depend on these resources. Eight models are being developed in thirteen pilot countries, of which twelve are OACPS countries. In each country, the SWM partners are working closely with national authorities and other local institutions. It is a collaborative effort that seeks to achieve sustainable levels of hunting. This quarterly SWM newsletter is informing our donors and partners about the main highlights and results in the countries. Interview with donors, partners, local staff, facts and figures, events and conferences will also be presented.
