Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSustainable Wildlife Management and Human-Wildlife Conflict 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Human—wildlife conflict (HWC) occurs when the needs of wildlife encroach on those of human populations. More broadly, however, interactions between wildlife and humans can cause damage or costs to both humans and wildlife, and lead to conflicts between different groups of people (human-human conflicts) over wildlife and how it should be managed. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureNavigating cultural narratives to provide meaning to a human-wildlife conflict situation 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The case study comes from the Cantanhez National Park in Guinea-Bissau and aims at exploring the human-wildlife interface and the people-park interface from the perspective of the park's inhabitants. This case study focuses on how these investigations revealed that encounters between chimpanzees and people, as described by the park’s inhabitants, generated two parallel narratives. Two narratives coexist—one attributing the actions of a chimpanzee to a person who supposedly shape-shifted into a chimpanzee, while the other attributes the chimpanzee's actions as a response attributable to the conservationists. Both narratives address issues of social responsibility, where individuals are perceived to not fulfil their societal obligations of redistribution. Through various discussions with different informants, it was reported that unprovoked attacks by chimpanzees were attributed to individuals who had allegedly shape-shifted into chimpanzees to commit harmful acts. In contrast, “clean” or “bush” chimpanzees were perceived to attack only if threatened or if denied a source of food. When attacks by “clean” or “bush” chimpanzees occurred, it was believed to be due to some provocation. for example, if someone had taken a chimpanzee by surprise and the chimpanzee attacked them as a defensive reaction. it was found that in Guinea-Bissau culture, accusations of witchcraft and sorcery, including those related to shape-shifting, can be used against people who are perceived as accumulating too many things and/or failing to adhere to essential cultural sharing.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
