Engaging local communities is pivotal for wildlife conservation beyond protected areas, aligning with the 30 × 30 target of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. We assessed the effectiveness of 33 offtake indicators, derived from hunter declarations, in monitoring the status and extent of degradation of hunted wildlife sourced from camera trap surveys and faunal composition analysis. The rodents:ungulates ratio in offtake and the mean body mass of total offtake emerged as practical and robust indicators of faunal degradation within hunting systems, with significant potential for broader application in similar tropical forest environments. Our findings provide a blueprint for managing and conserving natural resources in tropical regions through community-based initiatives. Involving local stakeholders ensures sustainable wildlife use and fosters ownership and responsibility. This study advances conservation efforts, bridging scientific rigor with community engagement for effective biodiversity preservation.
让当地社区参与对于保护区以外的野生动物保护至关重要，这与《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》的30×30目标相一致。我们评估了33个源自猎人申报的猎取指标在监测通过相机陷阱调查和动物群落组成分析获得的被捕猎野生动物的状况和退化程度方面的有效性。猎取中的啮齿动物与有蹄类动物的比例以及总猎取量的平均体重成为狩猎系统中动物群落退化的实用且可靠指标，在类似的热带森林环境中有广泛应用的巨大潜力。我们的研究结果为通过基于社区的举措管理和保护热带地区自然资源提供了蓝图。让当地利益相关者参与可确保野生动物的可持续利用，并培养主人翁意识和责任感。这项研究推动了保护工作，将科学严谨性与社区参与相结合以实现有效的生物多样性保护。
