Description:

This methodology is developed to contribute to the achievement of “Result 1” of the Sustainable Wildlife
Management (SWM) Programme, namely, “improve the institutional and legal frameworks for sustainable
wildlife management”. It is designed to facilitate the use of the “diagnostic tool for reviewing domestication
of international instruments relevant to wildlife”, also referred to as annex 2a.

This tool helps to review the extent to which the national legal framework implements and enforces the most
relevant international and regional binding instruments (conventions, agreements, etc.) for the sustainable
management of wildlife. Its main objective is to identify how obligations of States arising from international
agreements and conventions are reflected in national legal frameworks. This process and status are referred
to here as “domestication”.
