Synopsis (short abstract) Wildlife management is the focus of considerable international debate because of its importance for biodiversity conservation, human safety, livelihoods and food security. Local people have been managing wildlife for millennia, including through hunting. Sufficient examples are presented in this edition to show that sustainable wildlife management is also feasible in the modern era. In some cases, a sustainable offtake – by local people, trophy hunters and legitimate wildlife traders – is provin g vital to obtain local buy-in to wildlife management and to pay the costs of maintaining habitats. No doubt the debate will continue on the best ways to manage wildlife; this edition of Unasylva is a contribution to that.

    Co-developing a community camera trapping programme to deliver benefits of living with wildlife 2022

    In Tanzania, in collaboration with communities impacted by large carnivores such as lions, hyaenas and leopards, this case study highlights how a community camera trapping programme was co-developed between the local communities and the NGO Lion Landscapes to deliver benefits to the local communities living with wildlife. The case study focuses on the Rungwa-Ruaha landscape in Tanzania, which is one of the most important wildlife areas in Africa and it supports one of the world’s largest remaining populations of lions and globally significant populations of African wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards and spotted hyaenas. In 2015, the Ruaha Carnivore Project’s research project initiated a community camera trapping programme to create greater links between community benefits and the presence of wildlife in the area. The camera trapping programme has been successful in two ways: not only has it provided data on the wildlife populations present on village land, but it has also engaged and benefited the community, incentivising conservation. While previously, the villages received benefits from the project, now the villagers recognise that the benefits are received because of the wildlife present on their land.

    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in Guyana is encouraging coordinated community-driven initiatives that support food security and traditional livelihoods. These will contribute to maintaining healthy fish and terrestrial wildlife populations. It is being implemented by the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission in coordination with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). The SWM Programme is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security. Between 2018 and 2024, the SWM Programme implements field projects across three continents. The aim is to improve how wildlife hunting is regulated; increase the supply of sustainably produced meat products and farmed fish; strengthen the management capacities of indigenous and rural communities; reduce demand for wild meat, particularly in towns and cities. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Global Environment Facility. The SWM Programme is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of partners which includes FAO, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), CIFOR and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
