How can Central African wild meat policies be adapted and strengthened to support sustainable use and ensure the persistence of Central Africa’s wildlife?
Team Status:
ONGOING
Team Critical Challenge:
- Synthesis of current wild meat research. The working group will produce several policy briefs, synthesizing available data and research on wild meat in each of the focal countries (Gabon, Cameroon, DRC). These briefs will be provided in a timely manner to support policy discussions, and the content guided through conversations with government policy makers and stakeholders, ensuring that we are answering relevant questions posed by those directly involved with and affected by policy and legislative reforms.
- Support to national policy reform processes. We will support national policy makers to convene national workshops to discuss reforms to national wild meat policies. For each of the different countries, where policy discussions are at different stages, the aims of these workshops will vary, and may signal the beginning of policy discussions or be used to discuss draft policy documents and engage national stakeholders for their review.
