| Résumé : | This guide is divided into five main sections, each addressing a critical component of sustainable wildlife management in tropical regions: The first section, “Prior ethical requirements” emphasizes the need for to adopt a rights-based approach that prioritizes community rights while addressing social and environmental risks. This approach is essential for effectively supporting Indigenous Peoples and other rural communities in their management efforts. The second section, “Governance of natural resources and other enabling conditions” examines the foundational aspects of community-based wildlife management. It considers governance factors at both the local level (within the community area) and broader scales (landscape, subnational and national levels) that influence existing wildlife management systems, if present. The assessment also evaluates whether the other enabling conditions outlined in the SWM Programme technical brief “What do we mean by community-based sustainable wildlife management?”1 are met. It includes stakeholder analysis, governance system evaluations and assessments of social cohesion within communities. Practical methods and tools are provided to empower communities and uphold their rights in wildlife conservation efforts. The third section, “Hunting systems and value chain considerations” explores the dynamics of hunting and its related value chains. It highlights the importance of understanding the diverse values of wildlife, resource use areas, harvest levels, market structures and socioeconomic dependencies on wild meat. Case studies demonstrate how participatory mapping and market assessments can inform sustainable hunting practices and enhance livelihoods. The fourth section, “Key concepts and methods for sustainability” focuses on the ecological dimensions of sustainable hunting. It covers methods for assessing the population status of hunted species, identifying factors limiting wildlife productivity and determining sustainable harvest levels. This section provides scientific frameworks and monitoring tools to ensure that ecosystem health is balanced with community needs. The fifth section, “From understanding hunting systems to the definition of community-based wildlife management models” offers guidance for translating the results of this multifaceted assessment into a wildlife management model tailored to the specific context in which it will be implemented. Each section builds on lessons learned from the SWM Programme, providing actionable insights for practitioners aiming to implement or improve sustainable wildlife management systems. |
