This session explores its global relevance, showing how incentive-based, human-centred principles can inspire effective wildlife management in regions facing fragmentation and biodiversity loss.
Descripción de la sesión
The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is one of the world’s most successful approaches to wildlife management. Rooted in science, public trust, democratic access, and sustainable use, it has restored species, financed management, and kept people central to conservation for more than a century. This presentation explores how those principles function as a practical example of human-centred conservation, highlighting successes in species recovery, food security, and public engagement. It will examine how coupling rights to use wildlife with responsibilities to conserve creates incentive structures that sustain governance, funding, and stewardship. The talk will also consider how these foundational ideas might be adapted to different legal, cultural, and ecological contexts where conservation is fragmented or under strain. By assessing both achievements and limitations, the session aims to extract practical lessons for designing inclusive, resilient management systems that align ecological goals with community rights, livelihoods, public involvement, resilience, and governance effectively.Organised by
