Book excerpt: Wildlife and People in the Rupununi is a book consisting of a collection of engaging articles on the technical and scientific work completed by the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in Region 9 between 2018 and 2023. [Author] The SWM Programme is a major international initiative that aims to reconcile food security with wildlife conservation concerns through sustainable and legal exploitation of resilient animal populations by Indigenous and rural populations while increasing or diversifying the supply of alternative sources of protein. [Author] It is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). [Author] Projects are being piloted and tested with governments, national partners and communities in 16 participating countries. [Author] The initiative is coordinated by a dynamic consortium of four partners, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
