Our previous work enabled us to identify more clearly several strategic research areas where knowledge gaps need to be addressed:
- Wild Meat
assessing and promoting inclusive and sustainable wild meat value chains - Wild Enterprise
assessing and developing wildlife-based enterprises based at the landscape level - Wild Standards
developing and promoting voluntary sustainability standards and certification schemes for wildlife enterprises and products - Wild Policy
assessing and promoting enabling strategies, policies, and regulations (at the national, continental, and international levels) to support Africa's wildlife economy
If you are working on any of these topics or are interested in working on any of them, let's connect! Please email us.
