Book (series)Sustainable Wildlife Management - Unasylva 249 2017Wildlife management is the focus of considerable international debate because of its importance for biodiversity conservation, human safety, livelihoods and food security. Local people have been managing wildlife for millennia, including through hunting. Sufficient examples are presented in this edition to show that sustainable wildlife management is also feasible in the modern era. In some cases, a sustainable offtake – by local people, trophy hunters and legitimate wildlife traders – is provin g vital to obtain local buy-in to wildlife management and to pay the costs of maintaining habitats. No doubt the debate will continue on the best ways to manage wildlife; this edition of Unasylva is a contribution to that.

ProjectPromoting Sustainable Management of Human–Wildlife Conflict and Appropriate Agricultural Practices among Vulnerable Communities in Northern Zimbabwe - GCP/ZIM/032/JPN 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Human wildlife conflict (HWC) arises from the competition between growing populations of humans and wildlife for the same declining resources. Such conflict has proved a major issue in northern Zimbabwe. In Hurungwe District in the province of Mashonaland West, common examples of HWC include livestock predation, crop destruction, human attacks and conflict between farmers and protected area management. The resulting damage can impact food security, livelihoods and health. This project aimed to reduce HWC in target areas of Hurungwe by supporting local communities to implement sustainable methods of deterring wildlife and protecting livestock. At the same time, it sought to increase agricultural production and strengthen resilience by managing disease in livestock and promoting alternative livelihood options based on the sustainable, community based management of natural resources . -

Also available in:
No results found.These guidelines provide both operational and technical guidance on approaches in countries practising regulated hunting. When and where well-managed, this hunting industry brings considerable conservation benefits and socio-economic profits. However, like any sector, the hunting sector is in need of improvement in respect to nature conservation, rural socio-economy and cultural livelihoods and lifestyles. By raising the level of professionalism in its administration, it is expected that the per formance and quality of services of the whole sector will improve. Good administration is obviously crucial for promoting best practices and discouraging the others.
