Abstract

The project was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of policies on wildlife protection on the awareness and practice of party members. Within the framework of the study, 261 party members in 3 clusters were questioned with a set of quantitative questions. The results showed that policy documents were covered at a high rate in a variety of forms. However, the level of awareness and practice of the participants is not commensurate with this coverage, and there are differences between groups. 78,2% of respondents identified violations specified in policy documents related to wildlife consumption and use. The reason for not carrying out wildlife trade was chosen by 91,6% of respondents; Reasons for protecting wildlife; prevention of diseases transmitted from animals to humans; Ensuring the implementation of international commitments has 83,1% respectively; 71,3% and 65,9% identified. The rate of good practice accounted for the highest rate with 67,1%. The rates of good and bad practice were 26,8% and 6,5%, respectively. Changes in the form and method of dissemination are needed to improve the effectiveness of wildlife protection policy documents implementation.
