Typical topics of wildlife-related work by FAO include: • ecotourism; • human-wildlife conflict; • wildlife policies and legislation; • illegal harvesting and trade for food and non-food purposes; • impacts of climate change on wildlife and protected areas. • FAO is member of the Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management (CPW). • Contact: wild-life@fao.org
