Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
2021Also available in:
No results found.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 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 3 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), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). -

ArticleWildlife displacement, increase of contaminant loads downstream and surrounding superficial soil contamination are negative impacts of state roads and timber industry: a case study in Bunbury, Western Australia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Roads are considered as the most harmful anthropic impacts, producing high contaminant loads to water, soil and subsequently, biosphere, and causing habitat fragmentation for wildlife. The forest-dependent species are more vulnerable when home ranges concentrate on remanent vegetation patches. Accordingly, this study assesses the displacement behavior of three endemic species (Trichosurus vulpecula, Pseudocheirus occidentalis, and Phascogale sp), contaminant load to the surface soil of the remanent vegetation patch and contaminant load downstream to the closest stream from a national road and a timber processing factory. The wildlife displacement data were analyzed through a linear regression model. The surface soil chemistry was determined among 25 variables: and for the water chemistry, 12 variables. The normality test for the water and soil chemistry data was Shapiro-test, t-test for means comparison, and Cohen’s d for the effect size. The trend line demonstrated a positive relationship between the distance to the contaminant sources and the fauna presence. The concentration of Ba/Ca/Ce/Cr/Fe/Nd, and Sr in soil chemistry, and the concentrations of Ca/K/Na/Rb and S, in water chemistry, had different means and large effect (p-value<0.05, Cohen’s d>0.8), evidencing accumulative and negative impacts to the environment (plan-water-soil interactions) caused by the national road, and timber industry. Keywords: Trichosurus vulpecula, Pseudocheirus occidentalis, and Phascogale sp, Timber Processing. ID: 3482694
