GOOD PRACTICES - Biodiversity in forest management
- Wildlife management in a community reserve (Peru)
- The Reserva Comunal Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo in the Peruvian Amazon comprises some 3,225 km2.
- The diversity of mammals in the reserve is greater than in any other protected area in the Amazon, and possibly globally.
- Hunting pressure is limited to local subsistence consumption, sales of dried meat to Iquitos, and peccary pelts for sale to overseas markets.
- Wildlife management draws on community-based and co-management strategies, involving local communities, government agencies, NGO extension workers and researchers.
- Decisions on resource use and management are voted upon during community meetings, and are informed by research and monitoring.
- Data shows that harvests of all species except tapir are sustainable, and ways are being sought to ensure that tapir hunting is also reduced to sustainable levels.
