Objective: Increasing tiger populations through improved

management and monitoring of five transboundary

tiger sites in Nepal and India, with foci on law enfor-

cement, biological monitoring, and sustainable

development for local communities in the surrounding

landscape.

Highlights (project outcomes):

• Improved on-site law enforcement in Sukla, Parsa, Bardia,

Banke and Nandaur reduces tiger poaching over the

3-year period

Current tiger population: ~198-> Expected increase to: ~238 tigers

• Improved management effectiveness in 5 PAs (Sukla and

Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Bardia and Banke National Parks

and Nandaur Wildlife Sanctuary) supports the monitoring

and conservation of tiger populations over the 3-year period

• Human-tiger conflict prevention and mitigation measures

established across Sukla, Bardia, Banke and Nandaur PA

reduces the negative impacts of living with tigers over the

3-year period.

• Access to improved and alternative livelihoods for com-

munity members living around the Sukla, Bardia, Banke

and Nandaur PAis improved over the 3-year period

Project investments:

• Construction and repair of roads, guard posts and watch towers in the

core area of all five Pas

• Improvement of PA acilities (solar power sources, drinking water, toilets

and communication systems)

• Establishment of rapid response units in each PA, fully resourced with

vehicles, communication, detection and evidence handling equipment

• Installation of GSM camera-based early warning systems for illegal

activity, long range wi-fi system for CCTV cameras to stop poachers

Sustainable livelihoods:

• Development of homestays, trekking tourism and tiger tracking (with

support of loft loans scheme)

• Installation of predator-proof corrals and insurance scheme against HTC

• Alternative fuels, alternative fodder crops to reduce grazing

• Development of and training on alternative livelihoods (e.g. essential

oils production)

Objective: Stabilize the population of Sumatran tiger by the end of project,

through implementation of the NTRP in five tiger core areas in four priority TCLs

accounting for >70% of the remaining population. This will be achieved through

supporting: 1) Intensive protection of five core PAs holding the main tiger

source populations; 2) Sustainable landscape management across >69’000 km2

of prime tiger habitat; and 3) Community livelihood buffer zone initiatives at

PA borders.

Highlights (project outcomes):

• Tiger and prey populations are stabilised in core areas of 4 target

PAs by 2018

Current tiger population is ~ 85

• Effective landscape-level management in 4 priority Tiger Conservation

Landscapes, covering >69,000 km2 maintains tiger forest habitat

integrity and reduces illegal wildlife trade

• Community-based buffer zone management secures borders of 4 PAs

and tiger populations, whilst simultaneously delivering tangible local

livelihood benefits
