Sustainable wildlife management in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - #SWMProgramme

The Ituri forest in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is rich in wildlife and important mineral resources. The quest for wealth and food attracts miners, poachers and armed militias to the Okapi Wildlife Reserve.

Find out how the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is trying to reduce pressures on the Reserve, improve food security and achieve sustainable levels of hunting in the region.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the SWM Programme is being coordinated by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States initiative, funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency.
