Improving the legal and institutional framework for sustainable wildlife management
The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah, and wetland ecosystems in fifteen countries. In particular, the legal work focuses on developing and testing in the field innovative, collaborative, and scalable models of sustainable wildlife management that address the rights and needs of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Through the promotion and support of participatory and evidence-based (cultural and scientific) processes, we help countries identify where and how their institutions and laws may need to be adapted to ensure that the benefits they enjoy from wildlife are available to future generations. The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS), which is funded by the European Union (EU) and co-financed by the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). It is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security: · Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) · Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) · French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) · Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) For further information: www.swm-programme.info
