a result of these concerted actions, the South African wildlife industry will finally enjoy a positive policyenvironment.This present unique opportunity must not be wasted with half hearted measures. Our biodiversity, oureconomy and our people require that all chances, risks and opportunities are explored and that thelegislation will enable all South Africans to contribute meaningfully to our National Conservation Strategy.Private stakeholders in “The Wildlife Game” provide a free and important public service. They deserve thesupport of the country’s political parties in general, and those in government in particular. They need asensible legal framework which lays down the limit between good and bad practices, which sanctions thosewho elect to break the rules and most importantly which incentivizes the majority who do far more than thelegally required minimum for the benefit of all South Africans and our biodiversity. The efforts of the privatesector as managers of much of the country’s natural resources and its work to implement sustainablepractices through Incentive Based Conservation 39 need to be recognized by a groundswell of public support.The natural environment is the common heritage of all South Africans. Differences between hunterconservationistsand non-hunting conservationists – frequently a result of insufficient information – are inreality often minute. The South African Government can reduce conflict potential and polarization betweenhunters and other conservationists by launching a “Conservation Hunting Initiative” through a trulyrepresentative Advisory Council which ensures transparent policy initiatives, concerted actions and up-todateinformation of the public. This will eventually lead to THE WIN-WIN SCENARIO where the social,ecological and economic functions of natural habitats are guaranteed and sustainable.Annex 1:Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity(www.biodiv.org/doc/publications/addis-gdl-en.pdf){…} the Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity (AAPG) - to a largeextent based on IUCN's Amman Policy Statement on Sustainable Use of Wild Living Resources - wereadopted by the Parties to the CBD in February 2004. AAPG in fact represent the latest state of the art onsustainable use of biodiversity. With this tangible tool to hand, the Parties to the Convention can better focuson keeping their commitment to achieve, by 2010, a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversityloss.The 14 Principles and Guidelines contain a code of practice for governments and decision makers right [to]the local level about how to use biological diversity in a sustainable way. It includes the cross-border use ofnatural resources (game as well as e.g. water), a better integration of scientific surveys into decision-makingprocesses, more direct responsibility and the right for co-determination for the people living with theresources […]. AAPG provide a framework for assisting stakeholders on all geographical levels, as well asinstitutional levels such as the UN System, Conventions, Governments, development agencies, local andindigenous communities, resource managers, the private sector and NGOs, on how to ensure that their usesof biodiversity will not lead to its long-term decline. Governments should now strive to integrate the AAPG inthe development or review of policies, national legislation and other regulations, sectoral and cross-sectoralplans and any programs addressing uses of biodiversity.[…] AAPG also underline in which way ecosystems serve and maintain cultures, societies and communities.Governments and decision-makers are therefore called upon to consider the promotion of the AAPG as aninstrument for safeguarding traditional societies and cultures. [They] apply to any consumptive or nonconsumptiveuse of biological diversity. Their application will naturally vary according to the resource beingused, the conditions under which it is being used, as well as the institutional and cultural context in whichsuch use is taking place. Bridging the various geographical and institutional levels, AAPG will also provide anexcellent tool for different sectors to enhance sustainable use: i.e. forestry, wildlife, fisheries and tourism […]The wildlife sector will be an example of the implementation process bringing together stakeholders fromdifferent angles. […] AAPG provide a common base within the various and rarely linked programs andinitiatives to develop coherent approaches to sustainable wildlife use by designing programs on sustainablehunting.39 Dr Jonathan Hutton “What sustainable Use is, and what it is not” (African Indaba Vol2/4 www.africanindaba.co.za)26
Annex 2CITES Resolution Conf. 13.2 Sustainable use of biodiversity: Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelineswww.cites.org/eng/res/13/13-02.shtml[…] the Conference of the Parties to the Convention urges the Parties to:a) make use of the Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity, also taking into accountscientific, trade and enforcement considerations determined by national circumstances, when adopting nondetriment-makingprocesses and making CITES non-detriment findings;b) share experiences on sustainable use at the national level, particularly between CITES Management andScientific Authorities, and their CBD Focal Points; andc) endeavor to ensure that their CITES Management and Scientific Authorities participate, through theirnational CBD Focal Points, in the work of CBD and its Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical andTechnological Advice (SBSTTA) on these Principles and Guidelines; and URGES the Parties that are alsoParties to the CBD, to take effective measures at policy and institutional level to ensure synergy betweentheir implementation of CITES and CBD at the national level.Annex 3IUCN Resolution RES3.074Implementing the Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity […]The World Conservation Congress at its 3rd Session in Bangkok, November 2004:www.iucn.org/congress/members/WCC_Res_Recs_ENGLISH.pdf[…] 2. REQUESTS the IUCN Director General to: (a) ensure that the Addis Ababa Principles andGuidelines, as well as the IUCN Policy Statement on Sustainable Use of Wild Living Resources, areappropriately reflected in all IUCN policies and programs;(b) promote initiatives which enable relevantcomponents of the Union to work together to develop tools for the implementation of sustainable-useprinciples in practice, while maintaining a distinctive focal point for forward thinking; and […]3. ENCOURAGES IUCN and its members to:(a) report case studies that describe both positive and negativeexperiences in the implementation and outcomes of sustainable use programs and to identify lessonslearned; and (b) provide these case studies to the CBD Secretariat and other relevant organizations.The IUCN Policy Statement on Sustainable Use of Wild Living Resources (Resolution 2.29) adopted atthe IUCN World Conservation Congress, Amman, October 2000:[…] To increase the likelihood that any use of a wild living resource will be sustainable requires considerationof the following:[..] c) Wild living resources have many cultural, ethical, ecological, and economic values, which can provideincentives for conservation. Where an economic value can be attached to a wild living resource, perverseincentives removed, and costs and benefits internalized, favorable conditions can be created for investmentin the conservation and the sustainable use of the resource, thus reducing the risk of resource degradation,depletion, and habitat conversion;d) Levels and fluctuations of demand for wild living resources are affected by a complex array of social,demographic, and economic factors, and are likely to increase in coming years. Thus attention to bothdemand and supply is necessary to promote sustainability of uses.Annex 4African Convention On The Conservation Of Nature And Natural Resources(Africa Union Official Treaty Documents)The revised African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources ("African Convention")is a regional convention that incorporates modern schemes of conservation, already forming part of otherconventions; it strengthens the role of sustainable use for conservation, while pointing out the need for27
