LOPEZ-LUCERO, J. Francisco et al. Wildlife conservation programs: a review and analysis. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.4, pp.565-575. ISSN 1870-5472.

Natural resources are important for the development of communities because of the generation of goods, services and jobs. The strategies for protection and exploitation of wildlife at the international level are specified in conventions, agreements and treaty signatures. However, an evaluation and analysis of these is required to understand their effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to carry out a literature review about the conservation strategies during 1970-2010; to this aim, information was sought, organized and analyzed related to scientific articles, legal framework and electronic books elaborated by International Organizations. The information was organized by developed countries (n=7) and developing countries (n=7). In the 113 evidences analyzed it was found that the strategies conclude with the signature, execution of conventions and international agreements; however, only 5 % of the documents are related to the evaluation, analysis of the effectiveness and performance of those programs, highlighting that in their majority they refer to developing countries. This document emphasizes that in order for conservation strategies to be successful, they should be elaborated based on principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers of social, economic, political and ecologic type.

Keywords : conventions; strategies; legal framework; natural resources.
