COP 15 CBD - Wild meat and the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD)- Side-event Wild meat and the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: highlights from the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme

In this exciting side-event entitled Wild meat and the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: highlights from the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, the SWM Programme will present how the Decision 14/7 on sustainable wildlife management and the Voluntary Guidance for a sustainable wild meat sector adopted by CoP14 can be implemented in different contexts.

The discussions will be enriched by the SWM Programme initial work on the development of indicators that measure sustainability, legality and safety of harvest, use and trade in wild species (across all taxa). This includes species hunted for their meat.

The event features a high-level panel, including speakers from the:

  • Organisation of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS)
  • European Union Department for International Partnership (DG-INTPA) 
  • French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM)
  • Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of the Democratic Republic of Congo
  • Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat (CBD)
  • Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
  • Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
  • French agricultural research and cooperation organization (CIRAD) 
  • Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)

La Journée mondiale des oiseaux migrateurs est une campagne annuelle de sensibilisation soulignant la nécessité 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:

  • préserver les écosystèmes des grandes zones humides sahéliennes;
  • améliorer les connaissances sur les populations d’oiseaux d’eau et sur les prélèvements par la chasse;
  • développer 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:

  • Vidéo Conservation des oiseaux d’eau et des zones humides au Sénégal English, French
  • Vidéo Préserver les zones humides grâce aux nénuphars blancs English, French
  • Exposition virtuelle en 3D sur le RESSOURCE Project English
  • Guide d’identification Les oiseaux d’eau dans le delta du fleuve Sénégal - Petit guide de dénombrement et de détermination French

Bonne journée mondiale des oiseaux migrateurs a tous!

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.

Learn more about how the RESSOURCE Project’s work to develop innovative solutions for the sustainable management of migratory water birds populations and their habitats through the below material:

  • Video Wetland and water bird conservation in Senegal English, French
  • Video Preserving wetlands with white water lilies English, French
  • 3D Exhibition on the RESSOURCE Project English

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.
