    SWM Community Conservancy Project newsletter, Issue 1 - April to October 2021 2021
    Also available in:
    We are pleased to release the first issue of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Community Conservancy (CC) Project newsletter. Under the SWM Programme, this new Project, funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and co-funded by the European Union (EU), will extend implementation of the SWM Programme to two new sites: Botswana and Namibia. We are working together with communities across the Kavango-Zambezi (KaZa) region in North-East Namibia and Northern Botswana, promoting the CC model to achieve coexistence between people, livestock and wildlife in this biodiversity-rich landscape. This model builds on the Community- Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) approach implemented by the SWM Programme in Zambia and Zimbabwe. This includes several initiatives, such as building partnerships with the private sector, which redirect the flow of socio-economic benefits to local communities. This approach will also benefit conservation by reducing unsustainable hunting for wild meat and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. A strong network of CCs will enhance connectivity between habitats in the KaZa landscape and contribute to conservation efforts in this unique region. We are proud to be partnering with Wild Entrust Africa (WEA) in Botswana and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Namibia, as well as with the respective Governments, to enhance synergies between wildlife conservation and community well-being.

    FAO and the Government of Japan provided emergency assistance to highly vulnerable Haor communities affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Following the successful implementation of the Anticipatory Actions (AA) project in response to monsoon flood warning triggers in 2020, a new 2021 AA plan is being developed. FAO published an impact study on anticipatory action in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh experience, relating to last year’s floods, provided FAO and the broader anticipatory action community with many firsts including the fastest allocation of UN resources in history. FAO’s response to COVID-19 in Bangladesh is an excellent example of One Health in action. FAO Bangladesh plans to establish 15 digital villages. The project aims to unleash the potential of digital agriculture by bridging the urban-rural divide. On March 22 a large fire broke out at one of the camps in Cox’s Bazar. In addition to the immediate human tragedy, the fire impacted 75 hectares of land inside the camps, destroying trees and swathes of ground vegetation. With the approaching monsoon, the barren lands are under severe threat from soil erosion and landslides. Early action is needed to reduce these environmental threats. FAO conducted a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Assessment with the World Food Programme (WFP) that showed the extent of the damage; developed a land restoration plan, guidelines, and soil analysis protocol; and also developed an environment and disaster risk mitigation advocacy note with the Energy and Environment Technical Working Group (EETWG).
