The integrated model, and the scenarios that may be developed from it, provide an ideal platform on which to hold policy discussions between different sectors of government and across the international border. In the context of the ACL project, the UN Environment Programme and its partners are committed to supporting such dialogues and the co-creation of coherent sectoral policy agendas that ensure biodiversity conservation alongside net, tangible and present benefits from coexistence for people living with wildlife.
