Also in the same decision, the Conference of the Parties requested the Executive Secretary to compile and synthesize information on best practices for sustainable wildlife management submitted by Parties, other Governments, subnational governments at all levels, indigenous people and local communities, women and relevant organizations, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body.

provided in an information document.

The Subsidiary Body will be invited to consider the information contained in the note by the Secretariat and to prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Conference of the Parties at its seventeenth meeting.
