Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Bismarck Forest Corridor is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, with many endemic species. It is also an area with a high density of people. Wildlife is an important source of food as well as feathers and fur for traditional costumes. The increasing scarcity of wildlife is a growing concern for indigenous and rural communities in the region. The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is establishing community-led wildlife management initiatives, including community tree nurseries, to address this challenge. The activities in Papua New Guinea are coordinated by the Wildlife Conservation Society with the National Conservation and Environment Protection Authority. They are being developed with local indigenous communities in Chimbu, Eastern Highlands, and Jiwaka provinces and are supported by the provincial and district authorities responsible for wildlife management and animal production. The SWM Programme is developing innovative solutions based on field projects in fifteen countries. This seven-year (2018-2024) initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency. It is implemented by a unique consortium of four organizations with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security: the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). -

Also available in:

Although the amount and type of fish consumed varies based on factors such as geographical location and socio-economic status. Average national fish consumption ranges between 55 kg to 110 kg per person per year. This is almost 3–6 times the average global consumption of <20 kg per person per year. There are few challenges including limited data on fish consumption trend, poor cold chain management, depletion of fish resources and food safety.
