Summary

Ensuring the sustainable management of wild meat use is challenging and complex, requiring a balance between sustainable development, food security and conservation. Available information and examples from more than four decades of research suggests that with the right enabling environment, political will and suitable legislation and governance, well-designed and participatory multi-sectoral wild meat supply is possible. Demand needs to be reduced to sustainable levels, at least for several species in some environments. In this chapter we discuss ways in which we can ‘close the gap’ between knowledge and action and ensure that wild meat use is balanced. We provide a comprehensive overview of what factors can guarantee sustainable wild meat use, taking into account the topics dealt with in the book overall. We end by suggesting how to improve wild meat governance and management worldwide so as to secure wildlife protection and food security in the long term.
