Sustainable use of wildlife

Mediante 1012 entrevistas directas dirigidas a adultos se realizó una encuesta en Nicaragua - excluyendo la población de la región Atlántica - sobre tenencia de fauna silvestre. La proporción de hogares con fauna silvestre fue de 22.3%. Los géneros Brotogeris, Aratinga, Amazona, Pionus y Kinosternon / Rhynochlemys fueron los taxa encontrados con mayor frecuencia en los hogares.

This document provides information on the interdisciplinary situation analysis (ISA) workflow from start to finish with the intention of guiding the PiN team in making decisions about what information and procedures should be included and excluded and who to involve. This paper also makes suggestions as to the organization of the ISA report that marks the transition between PiN phases I and II.

This document builds on existing IUCN policies by setting forth SSC guiding principles on the use of “trophy hunting”, as defined in Section II, as a tool for creating incentives for the conservation of species and their habitats and for the equitable sharing of the benefits of use of natural resources.

This publication provides a glimpse into the often intricate knowledge systems that pastoralists and smallholder farmers have developed for the management of their breeds in specific production systems. It also describes the multitude of threats and challenges these often marginalized communities have to cope with and suggests interventions that can sustain valuable human-animal-environment relationships and combine conservation of breeds and their ecosystems with poverty alleviation.

These guidelines describe, in logical chronological order, the process of establishing a programme for cryoconservation of animal genetic resources, starting with the process of confirming the decision to implement a cryoconservation programme. The task of organizing the institutions needed to meet the chosen conservation objectives is then described.

Genetic improvement is an essential component of the management of animal genetic resources and can make important contributions to food security and rural development. Yet, the majority of developing countries have not been successful in sustaining breed development programmes. The objective of these guidelines is to help countries plan and develop effective genetic improvement programmes and to maximize the chances that such programmes will be sustained.
