Reverse the Red - Still ruffling feathers: How sustainable use benefits conservation

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
We warmly welcome you to meet the IUCN Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group (SULi), to familiarize you with our work and with sustainable use more generally. As SULI is predominantly concerned with the livelihoods of rural communities, who depend on wild species as an important or essential part of their daily lives.
HideDescripción
Globally, billions of people depend on the use of wild species, including plants, animals and fungi. Such use contributes meaningfully to food security, and to local and national economies and livelihoods, and is important recreationally, culturally and spiritually. Use, if sustainable and well-managed, can also be a powerful conservation tool because its social and economic benefits incentivize people to conserve target resources and natural systems. However, the consumptive use of wildlife can often become a deeply emotive and politically divisive issue. The key focus of this event will be the stories and narratives of local communities and the importance of sustainable use, viewed from their perspective.
