Descripción
The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme puts people’s rights at the centre of wildlife management. It seeks an optimal balance between conservation needs and the use of wildlife for food security and nutrition. To achieve this, the SWM Programme developed a community rights-based approach to be adapted at project sites, so that local and indigenous communities are:
• ensured equitable participation and inclusion in all project activities;
• empowered in their legal use and sustainable management of natural resources; and
• strengthened in their capacity to manage and benefit from wildlife.
The SWM Programme works in 15 countries, namely Botswana, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
