"Walk on the wild side" - A virtual journey around the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme

Mark your calendar - đź“Ś 15 September 2022 (16.00 – 16.45 EAT)

 

The Global Landscape Forum Africa 2022 and the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme are pleased to invite you to a fascinating journey around the SWM Programme 3D virtual photo and video exhibition "Walk on the wild side".

The SWM Programme develops innovative, collaborative and scalable new approaches to conserve wild animals and protect ecosystems, whilst at the same time improving the livelihoods of indigenous peoples and rural communities who depend on these resources.

This launchpad event will present the work being carried out at the SWM Programme sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the same time, participants will have the opportunity to see and hear first-hand about some of the photographs taken by the renowned National Geographic photographer Brent Stirton.

This immersive experience will bring to life the many activities and solutions being developed by the SWM Programme, an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative funded by the European Union (EU) with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD).

The SWM Programme is implemented by a consortium of partners including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

Reducing human-wildlife conflict and improving coexistence

8 July 2024

Human-wildlife conflict and coexistence (HWCC) is an increasingly critical issue for conservation and rural communities. As human populations encroach into wild areas, conflicts arise, making effective management strategies essential for the safety of both people and wildlife.

Reducing human-wildlife conflict and improving coexistence

8 July 2024

Human-wildlife conflict and coexistence (HWCC) is an increasingly critical issue for conservation and rural communities. As human populations encroach into wild areas, conflicts arise, making effective management strategies essential for the safety of both people and wildlife.

The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, which is funded by the European Union, with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency, has been making significant strides in addressing HWCC through its innovative training of trainer workshops. These workshops exemplify the SWM Programme’s commitment to fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife, particularly in the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), where such conflicts impact both conservation efforts and community livelihoods.

La JournĂ©e mondiale des oiseaux migrateurs est une campagne annuelle de sensibilisation soulignant la nĂ©cessitĂ© de conserver les oiseaux migrateurs et leurs habitats.

Cette année, l’accent est mis sur l’importance des insectes en tant que source de nourriture pour les oiseaux migrateurs.

Même si le thème de cette année ne correspond pas parfaitement aux efforts du projet RESSOURCE sur les oiseaux migrateurs, nous souhaitons saisir cette occasion pour mettre en valeur les activités pertinentes du projet.

Le Projet RESSOURCE, en collaboration avec les autorités nationales et les communautés locales, vise à:

  • prĂ©server les Ă©cosystèmes des grandes zones humides sahĂ©liennes;
  • amĂ©liorer les connaissances sur les populations d’oiseaux d’eau et sur les prĂ©lèvements par la chasse;
  • dĂ©velopper des solutions innovantes de gestion et d’exploitation durables des zones humides et des populations d’oiseaux d’eau.

Apprenez-en davantage sur les approches innovantes développées par le Projet Ressource pour promouvoir une gestion durable des populations d’oiseaux d’eau et de leurs habitats sahéliens à travers le matériel ci-dessous:

  • VidĂ©o Conservation des oiseaux d’eau et des zones humides au SĂ©nĂ©gal English, French

World's Migratory Bird Day is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.

This year’s focus is on the importance of insect as a source of food for migratory birds. Even though this year’s theme doesn’t perfectly align with the RESSOURCE Project’s work on migratory birds, we will seize this opportunity to showcase the Project’s relevant activities.

The RESSOURCE Project, in collaboration with the national authorities and local communities, aims to:

  • preserve the ecosystems of major Sahelian wetlands;
  • improve knowledge on waterbird populations and on harvesting by hunting;
  • develop innovative solutions for the sustainable management and exploitation of wetlands and waterbird populations.

Information Brief - The wildlife–livelihoods–health nexus: challenges and priorities in Asia and the Pacific

6 March 2024

In occasion of this year’s World Wildlife Day, RAP released an Information Brief on “The wildlife-livelihoods-health nexus: challenges and priorities in Asia and the Pacific”.

This brief was developed together with numerous partners and coordinated by FAO, in close collaboration with RAP’s Animal Health and Production Team, the Forestry Division and the Sustainable Wildlife Management Programme.

The Sustainable Wildlife Management Programme (SWM Programme) has been developing and testing innovative models to address wild meat and food security issues including and mainstreaming the One Health approach. Currently implemented in 15 OACPS countries, the SWM Programme has been extended to Asia since August 2023.
