Guidance to promote, implement and accelerate integrated action to:
• Ensure the supply of wild meat is sustainably managed at the source;
• Control the excessive demand of wild meat in towns and cities;
• Create an enabling environment for the sustainable management of wild meat.
Resolution Objectives
Aichi Biodiversity Targets (by 2020)
– Target 4, sustainable production and consumption, keepingimpacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits.
– Target 7, sustainable management of areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry, ensuring conservation of biodiversity.
– Target 12, prevent the extinction of known threatened species and improve and sustain their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline.
Sustainable Use of Components of Biological Diversity
– Article 10 requires Parties, as far as possible and as appropriate actions identified in this note should be undertaken in the context of the 2050 Vision of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Global Policy Context
• Integrate conservation and sustainable use of biological resources into national decision-making;
• Use biological resources to avoid or minimize adverse impacts on biological diversity;
• Protect and encourage customary use of biological resources according to traditional cultural practices compatible with conservation or sustainable use requirements;
• Support local populations develop and implement remedial action in degraded areas where biological diversity has been reduced; and
• Encourage cooperation governmental authorities - private sector in developing methods for sustainable use of biological resources.
Working Aims
Specific Solutions
(Nasi et al. 2011)
A. Manage and improve
sustainability of wild meat supply
at the source
B. Reduce demand for
unsustainably managed wild
meat
C. Create enabling
conditions for a controlled,
sustainable wild meat sector
Suggested Steps
A. Manage/improve sustainability
B. Reduce demand C. Create enabling conditions
Review existing policies and legal framework
Develop demand-reduction strategies, focussing on towns and cities
Increase international collaboration
Strengthen law enforcement capacity
Increase the availability of substitutes
Acknowledge the role of wild meat, where legitimate, and adapt national policy and legal frameworks accordingly
Develop and strengthen participatory processes
Decrease availability and demand for unsustainably produced wild meat
Create regional and national monitoring frameworks for wild meat
