Common managementissues
Factorsaffectingsustainability
• Natureoftheresource
• Informalnatureofthevaluechains
• Lackofknowledgeandrecognitionofthesector
• Inappropriatepoliciesandgovernance
• Demography,povertyandhunger
• Increasedcommercialization
• Loggingandotherresourceextractionactivities
• Fragmentationandland‐usechanges
• Agriculturalsectorexpansion
Main Barriers Specific solutions
Bad governance, influence ofelites and corruption
Sensitization at the level of elites
Strengthen local governance
Strengthen law enforcement capacity
Lack of motivation fromsmall or economically
unstable logging companies
Create incentives to encourage the privatesector to engage in taking NTFP into accountStrengthen technical capacities at the level of
national services and the private sectorUnclear definition of
responsabilities amongstakeholders
Clarify and formalize roles andresponsabilities
Barriers and solutions
( modified from TRAFFIC workshop, Libreville, June 2010)
Main barriers Specific solutions
Additional costs areincurred to consider NTFP in
management
Allocation of a specific budget for wildlifeisssues
Logging revenues (taxes etc.) should also beallocated to support management efforts
Partnerships among stakeholders are crucial
External funding is needed
High demand of bushmeatfrom external urban areas
and little control/knowledgeabout the market chain
Sensitization of urban consumers
Better knowledge of the market chain
Lack of largely validatedscientific methods and
protocols to monitor NTFP
Develop research and coordinate thevalidation of monitoring methods
