While international concern for biodiversity conservation is growing, hunting lives and cultures of rainforest peoples are also in danger of extinction. To solve this problem, mutual understanding between local people and conservation organisations is essential, and this can only be achieved through an equal dialogue between Indigenous and local knowledge and science. Promoting coproduction research between the two parties on an equal footing, the Fashloks Project aims to develop locally-based wildlife management systems for sustainable and fair hunting in tropical rainforests.

This project belongs to the Global Environmental Culture Program (Director: Prof. MATSUDA Motoji).
