    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in Papua New Guinea promotes sustainable wildlife and fisheries management in savannah forest landscapes. The SWM activities in the Bismarck Forest Corridor are being developed with local indigenous communities. They are coordinated by the Wildlife Conservation Society with the national Conservation and Environment Protection Authority. The SWM Programme is developing innovative solutions based on field projects in thirteen countries. It is a seven-year (2018-2024) African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment. It is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security.The SWM Programme mobilizes an international group of partner organizations with strong expertise and experience in wildlife conservation, food security and policy development. It is implemented through a consortium partnership, which includes the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD).

    Sustainable Wildlife Management - Unasylva 249 2017
    Also available in:

    Wildlife 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.
