Wildlife law and the empowerment of the poor

Wildlife law can contribute to the legal empowerment of the poor by granting local and indigenous communities clear and secure rights to conserve and (sustainably) use wildlife and benefit from it, particularly through community-based wildlife management schemes; recognizing and supporting sustainable traditional use; and requiring participatory wildlife management planning and impact assessment processes. This study explores the conditions, approaches and options in drafting national wildlife laws that ensure environmental sustainability and empower the poor.--Publisher description
