No results found.This case study delves into the transformative efforts of the global snow leopard and ecosystems protection program (GSLEP) towards fostering unity among snow leopard range country governments, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations, local communities, and the private sector through a transboundary holistic approach and a collective embraced vision to conserve snow leopards and their valuable high-mountain ecosystems, including addressing conservation conflicts. The snow leopard inhabits twelve countries in Central and South Asia, which include Afghanistan, the Kingdom of Bhutan, China, India, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, The Republic of Tajikistan, and the republic of Uzbekistan. In 2013, officials from these countries met in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz republic, under the initiative of the republic’s President, to endorse a new global initiative during the first global snow leopard & ecosystem forum. -

No results found.This case study comes from Mozambique, where human-wildlife conflict was not a new issue in 2010. Incidents had been increasing, particularly those involving crocodiles Crocodylus niloticus, and also elephants Loxodonta africana and lions Panthera leo. These incidents impacted food security, local community incomes, well-being and safety, and were exacerbated by poverty levels. Human-wildlife conflict had become a major concern for the Government of Mozambique and led them to formulate a National Strategy for Human-Wildlife Conflict Management (2009-2014). The government approved the Strategy in 2009, and from 2010 its implementation was supported by FAO, through a Technical Cooperation Programme Project The FAO project's objective was to design an implementation plan for the Strategy with the expressed goal of mitigating human-wildlife conflicts and build the needed capacity in the country to be able to do so. This case study focuses on how capacity was built in Mozambique to implement the Strategy. By building capacity in the national government agencies, the FAO project empowered the government agencies to guide and implement the country's national strategy on human-wildlife conflict. The overhauled database, covering five years (2006-2010), was presented at the Council of Ministers, in order to underscore the importance of the situation in Mozambique, inform the Ministers of the problem, and highlight some of the tools available to reduce the impacts of human-wildlife conflict, particularly the crocodile cages that had been used and improved. -

No results found.The case study comes from the north-western part of Zimbabwe, the Hurungwe district of Mashonaland West province, where local communities experience high levels of human-wildlife conflict. The area is also vulnerable to the transmission of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) from the African buffalo to cattle, which can devastate farmers' livelihoods, as they are often left unable to trade the meat. In 2019, the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) initiated an emergency development project, funded by the Government of Japan, in collaboration with a wide range of partners. The project piloted innovative human-wildlife conflict prevention and mitigation strategies, alternative livelihood options and livestock disease management approaches. The project set up leadership forums in the committees, as a means to develop targeted strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict. FAO also developed and launched a mobile application, called ema-i, to improve animal disease field data collection and reporting, and enhance surveillance to respond to incidents, particularly in areas with limited internet access.
