Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPlay more, live better! Using sustainable wildlife management games to help adults and children collaborate and solve complex problems together 2024

No results found.This publication is the first of the Innovation in Practice case-studies series produced by the SWM Programme, including technical, social, legal and institutional innovations. The first case study focuses on the partners (FAO, WCS, CIFOR-ICRAF and CIRAD) development and testing of innovative no-tech or low-tech games. Each needed to be simple and relatively quick to play, require only locally available and low cost materials, and be appropriate for players with low levels of literacy and numeracy, with little or no experience with multiplayer and role-playing games. These games can be played without technology, but they do not preclude the use of smart phones or laptop computers to capture and analyze the outcomes generated by the players. Role-playing games are fun, engaging and valuable for social learning where communities can devise strategies and learn to avoid undesired outcomes.This first case study is going to walk you through the different games developed and played in the different sites, unrevelling the importance of communities to take part in those and lessons learnt. -
ProjectCapacity Building for a Sustainable Game Management System - TCP/SRB/3603 2020

No results found.Sustainable game management requires adequate and reliable information about the extent and state of existing resources and the changes in those resources over time. In Serbia, after the adoption of the Law on Game Management and Hunting in 2010, hunting areas were established in order to implement existing strategic planning documents, and to take appropriate measures for the protection and improvement of game populations. Despite this, game management and hunting practices in the country remain unsatisfactory and the Draft Hunting Development Strategy of Serbia (2015-2029) has never been adopted. As a result, considering the current state of game populations and management in Serbia, it is evident that both the number and the spatial distribution of the majority of game species are not in accordance with the natural carrying capacities of the habitat. This unfavourable situation is related to weaknesses in the 2010 Law and subordinate legislation, all of which should be reviewed by wildlife and legal experts to ensure that a future game management system complies with good practices and sustainability standards. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSustainable 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.
