Synopsis (short abstract) The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security. Between 2018 and 2024, the SWM Programme implements field projects across 3 continents. The aim is to improve how wildlife hunting is regulated; increase the supply of sustainably produced meat products and farmed fish; strengthen the management capacities of indigenous and rural communities; reduce demand for wild meat, particularly in towns and cities. This poster is used by the local SWM field teams in their work with remote rural communities at all SWM sites to improve understanding of community based sustainable wildlife management. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). The SWM Programme is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of partners which includes FAO, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme Technical brief - What do we mean by community-based sustainable wildlife management? 2021
    Also available in:
    In order to achieve robust community-based sustainable wildlife management, six key components are needed. These focus on understanding the environments and the resources they contain, community rights, governance, management, and reducing rural dependency on unsustainable natural resource use. These components represent the minimum prerequisites for sustainable wildlife management actions. If one of these is missing, sustainable use is unlikely to be achieved. These components are as follows:
    • understanding the environment and its use
    • devolution of exclusionary rights
    • local-level management by a competent authority
    • social cohesion to manage as a community
    • effective governance systems
    • sustainable solutions for growth and increasing aspirations.
    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is developing innovative solutions based on field projects in 15 countries. It is a seven-year (2018–2024) Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). It is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security:
    • Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
    • Center for International Forestry Research(CIFOR)
    • French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD)
    • Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

    Community rights-based approach for sustainable wildlife management
    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
    2021
    Also available in:
    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme puts people’s rights at the centre of wildlife management. It seeks an optimal balance between conservation needs and the use of wildlife for food security and nutrition. To achieve this, the SWM Programme developed a community rights-based approach to be adapted at project sites, so that local and indigenous communities are: • ensured equitable participation and inclusion in all project activities; • empowered in their legal use and sustainable management of natural resources; and • strengthened in their capacity to manage and benefit from wildlife. The SWM Programme works in 15 countries, namely Botswana, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
    2021
    Also available in:
    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems in member countries of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). Our work focuses on how to reconcile the challenges of wildlife conservation with food security and rural socio-economic development, particularly where rural communities use wildlife in their diet and to supplement their income, and where it is part of their culture. The SWM Programme is working in 15 countries, namely Botswana, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe. To achieve robust, community-based sustainable wildlife management, the SWM Programme is promoting a framework that encompasses a better understanding of the environment and its resources, community rights, governance, management, and reduces rural dependency on unsustainable natural resource use. These components represent the minimum prerequisites: if one is missing, sustainable use is unlikely to be achieved.
