| Action Tiger - 2nd Edition: Tiger Action Plans of 13 Tiger Range Countries | |
| 2011 Full Book | |
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and its India partner Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) are proud to be associated with the Global Tiger Forum (GTF), and are committed to strengthening it as part of their efforts at conserving the majestic tiger. IFAW-WTI's support to the GTF began in 2005 with a placement of a Technical Officer to help out at the GTF Secretariat. While assisting in the functioning of the GTF, the Technical Officer additionally helped compile National Tiger Action Plans (NTAPs) of various tiger range countries (TRCs) into a single document to provide stakeholders with an insight into the respective conservation needs and priorities of each of these countries to save the majestic tiger. In 2007, this effort culminated with the publication of the first edition of 'Action Tiger', comprising NTAPs of 12 of the 13 TRCs. Conservation needs and priorities to save the tiger vary between countries, and within a single country, they may vary with time. This necessitates these documents to be periodically updated to suit the changing needs, or to adapt solutions as we understand the needs better. With this understanding, IFAW-WTI had committed to periodically update this Action Tiger document for use by stakeholders including non-tiger range countries, NGO community or even individuals to help TRCs in their efforts to save the tiger. This 'Action Tiger' second edition comprises the latest NTAPs of all the 13 Tiger Range Countries, and is a testament to this commitment. |
