    Improving the legal and institutional framework for sustainable wildlife management
    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
    2021
    Also available in:

    The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah, and wetland ecosystems in fifteen countries. In particular, the legal work focuses on developing and testing in the field innovative, collaborative, and scalable models of sustainable wildlife management that address the rights and needs of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Through the promotion and support of participatory and evidence-based (cultural and scientific) processes, we help countries identify where and how their institutions and laws may need to be adapted to ensure that the benefits they enjoy from wildlife are available to future generations. The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS), which is funded by the European Union (EU) and co-financed by the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). It is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security: · Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) · Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) · French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) · Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) For further information: www.swm-programme.info

    This paper represents part of an area of work which analyses access to natural resources in Mozambique. An initial paper examined the extent to which Mozambique’s recent regulatory changes to natural resource access and management have had their intended effects (LSP Working Paper 17: Norfolk, S. (2004). “Examining access to natural resources and linkages to sustainable livelihoods: a case study of Mozambique”). This paper is complemented by LSP Working Paper 27: Tanner et al. (2006). “Making ri ghts a reality: Participation in practice and lessons learned in Mozambique”. This report looks at one of the most important practical aspects of local participation in the Land Law and other natural resources legislation: the community consultation, through which outsiders – the State, new investors, timber companies, hotel groups – gain access to local land and resources with the approval of local people. In the consultation, the community is asked if the land required by the investor is occup ied or not.
