The Task Force works to achieve several key goals to facilitate human-wildlife coexistence through integrating Human Wildlife Co-existence considerations into standards for Protected and Conserved Areas including:
- Evaluate the existing IUCN Green List Criteria, and other relevant standards, and whether they are adequate for dealing with the challenges of achieving sustainable Human Wildlife Co-Existence.
- Determine the key gaps in the existing Criteria, Indicators, Means of Verification, and Guidance notes in the IUCN Green List for the governance and management of Human Wildlife Co-Existence.
- Develop additional Guidance notes, and if need be, Indicators and Means of Verification, for PCAs where Human Wildlife Co-Existence is a key identified concern, which can be piloted and tested, as part of the expansion and further development of the Green List.
- Align additionally developed Guidance notes etc. with existing guidelines on human wildlife co-existence such as those being developed by the IUCN SSC Human Wildlife Conflict Specialist Group (https://www.hwctf.org/).
- Incorporate feedback from local Expert Assessment Groups (EAGLs), after the piloting of the proposed additional elements of the Green List, including considerations for the time and resource requirements necessary for implementation.
- Identify additional expertise and experience needed on EAGLs to account for Human Wildlife Coexistence concerns.
- Identify the types of expertise and experience needed on site for the effective and sustainable implementation of the standard and explore sustainable financing options.
- Explore whether the core components of a standard for Human Wildlife Coexistence could potentially also feed into other standards for area-based conservation, e.g., standards for sustainability, carbon etc. and how to develop these further.
