Short-term and longer Sample Clauses

Short-term and longer term goals So far, the above structure has only been tested for a single population (Svalbard Pink-footed Goose). In order to avoid the inevitable duplication that multiple single population processes would provide, and to better coordinate and develop efficient and cost effective strategies in a common approach to international management, it is proposed to develop IWGs for groups of populations that would benefit from common, or very similar, management protocols and actions. Such groups of populations are likely to include geese in northwest Europe and European seaducks. Such multispecies management plans would require a Flyway Coordination Unit collating and assessing timely population specific monitoring data as well as species specific data on harvest from all Range States involved. An International Working Group would act as a governing body and will provide guidance on population specific actions, based on a set of overall objectives and principles. In the longer term and based on the first experiences with multispecies management, the processes could perhaps be further streamlined to cover entire flyways (e.g. East Atlantic flyway), including the central European flyway and central Asian flyway, and subsequently cover intra-African flyways. In these latter regions, more case studies are first needed in order to better understand the harvest systems, both at biological and socio-ecological levels, before embarking upon the development of a more sophisticated approach. A first step could be to focus on tourism hunting, as this form of hunting is generally organized and controlled by AEWA Parties in Africa (Xxxxxxx 2000). However, the two already better known cases of subsistence/commercial hunting (Lake Chilwa in Malawi and the Inner Niger Delta in Mali) could serve as pilot studies for the development of multispecies adaptive management in Africa.
