Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureMchezo Ya Kuku - A multiplayer poultry production card game for social learning 2025
Also available in:
This no-tech game is made possible by the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, which is being funded by the European Union (EU) with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD).Social learning is essential for effective community-led conservation and development as it enables people to prioritize both individual and collective strategies and, most importantly, develops the social cohesion they need to work together, to solve their common problems.Experience from developing and playing these games with many communities confirms our belief that games that are fun to play, have few rules, rely on learning by doing, and enable failure, provoke discussion and collaborative problem solving are essential for adaptive social learning. -

ProjectFactsheetCapacity Building for a Sustainable Game Management System - TCP/SRB/3603 2020
Also available in:
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.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
