The Wild Meat Dialogues is a webinar series bringing together researchers, practitioners and policy makers to share knowledge and build collaboration around sustainable wild meat use and consumption across Asia and the Pacific.
Across these sessions, we'll explore what we know and what we still need to learn about the role of wild meat consumption on rural food security and livelihoods, its impacts on biodiversity and zoonotic disease risk, and the policies, governance frameworks and the various approaches that can support sustainable wildlife management across the region.
Video recordings of past webinar sessions will be inserted here. Stay tuned!
