Antananarivo is hosting a crucial stakeholder consultation workshop aimed at shaping Madagascar‘s first-ever sustainable wildlife management policy. The workshop, taking place from December 4th to 5th, is a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Ministry of Habitat and Sustainable Development.
“To establish legitimacy that is consistent with the content of the text of a law on the sustainable management of wildlife that is subsequently produced,” explains the project’s core objective. Despite Madagascar’s commitment to biodiversity conservation and environmental protection through various reforms, a dedicated legal framework for wildlife management has been absent.
The workshop aims to bridge this gap by fostering a collaborative environment where stakeholders can contribute to the development of a comprehensive and consensus-driven policy. This participatory approach ensures that the final document reflects the diverse perspectives and needs of all involved parties.
Madagascar has been actively working to strengthen its legal frameworks in recent years. since 2019,meaningful reforms have been implemented,including the revision of the Gélose law and the forestry sector. The country has also updated its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to align with the global biodiversity framework by 2026.
In 2021,with support from the ‘Sustainable Wildlife Management’ (SWM) Program,the Ministry took the initiative to review Order No. , recognizing its outdated nature and its inadequacy in addressing current biodiversity conservation and sustainable development challenges. The new sustainable wildlife management policy aligns seamlessly with these ongoing efforts to modernize Madagascar’s legal landscape.
