    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme Technical brief - What do we mean by community-based sustainable wildlife management? 2021
    Also available in:

    In order to achieve robust community-based sustainable wildlife management, six key components are needed. These focus on understanding the environments and the resources they contain, community rights, governance, management, and reducing rural dependency on unsustainable natural resource use. These components represent the minimum prerequisites for sustainable wildlife management actions. If one of these is missing, sustainable use is unlikely to be achieved. These components are as follows:
    • understanding the environment and its use
    • devolution of exclusionary rights
    • local-level management by a competent authority
    • social cohesion to manage as a community
    • effective governance systems
    • sustainable solutions for growth and increasing aspirations.

It is a seven-year (2018–2024) Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD).
