Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWildlife Law in the Southern African Development Community 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There is a wide variety of interests to be balanced in wildlife management. These interests range from the conservation of biodiversity and specific endangered species and their habitats, to control of human-wildlife conflicts, the creation of valuable opportunities in eco-tourism or hunting tourism in response to the needs and respect of the traditions of local populations depending on hunting and other wildlife uses. As a consequence, the enactment of effective legal frameworks for s ustainable wildlife management, which are able to contribute to poverty reduction and food security and at the same time protect wild animals, is a challenging task. Since 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) have launched an international dialogue on obligations and standards on wildlife management, with a focus on instruments for the legal empowerment of the poor. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookExecutive summary. Mountain Agriculture: Opportunities for harnessing Zero Hunger in Asia 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Mountain agriculture offers enormous opportunities for Zero Hunger. This publication conveys priority and entry points to turn the potential of mountain agriculture into real benefits for the Asian region. The publication provides analysis with evidence on how mountain agriculture could contribute to satisfying all four dimensions of food security, in order to transform food systems to be nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient, economically-viable and locally adaptable. From this food system perspective, the priority should be given to focus on specialty mountain product identification (e.g. Future Smart Food), production, processing, marketing and consumption, which would effectively expose the potential of mountain agriculture to contribute to Zero Hunger and poverty reduction. In addition, eight Asian country case studies not only identify context-specific challenges within biophysical-technical, policy, socio-economic and institutional dimensions, but also demonstrate their experience in mountain agricultural product prioritization, production, processing and market development. -
