DocumentHuman-Wildlife Conflict Worldwide: Collection of Case studies, Analysis of Management Strategies and Good Practices 2005
Also available in:
No results found.Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is fast becoming a serious threat to the survival of many endangered species in the world. The case studies from countries all over the world demonstrate the severity of the conflict and suggest that greater in depth analysis of the conflict is needed in order to avoid overlooking the problem and undermining the conservation of threatened and potentially endangered species. This report provides an insight into the HWC issue, based on a selection of relevant case stu dies and gathers together the key lessons learned. This is a comprehensive review covering a wide array of the available literature on wild mammal-human conflict, with the exception of human-elephant, written over the last ten years. It highlights common problems and solutions across bio-geographical regions in order to provide a better understanding of the HWC issue worldwide. It also shows that these conflicts have similar causes and impacts, and that accurate and detailed information, scienti fic research and stakeholder commitment are key to the development of appropriate and sustainable strategies for both resolving the problem and conserving different ecosystems and their wildlife inhabitants. -

Background paper for the Joint FAO/WHO expert consultation on the development of risk management strategies based on microbiological risk assessment outputs - Kiel, Germany, 3-7 April 2006
2006Also available in:
No results found.During the past ten years, considerable advancements have been achieved in the development of quantitative risk assessments for microbial pathogens in the food supply. More recently, new risk-based management concepts and approaches have been introduced, including the application of food safety objectives (FSOs), performance objectives (POs), and performance criteria (PCs) in order to relate public health goals to the level of stringency required for food safety measures and systems. From these parameters, food safety controls such as process criteria, product criteria and microbiological criteria may be derived. Risk assessments provide the basis for risk-based management options, however, guidelines, methods and practical examples of using risk assessment outputs toward these goals are lacking.
