| Northeast China tiger conservation action plan | |
| 2007 Full Book | |
The Wildlife Conservation Department of the State Forestry Bureau (SFA), the Conservation Department of the Jilin Forestry Bureau, the Conservation Department of the Heilongjiang Forestry Industry, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) successfully held the "_International Workshop on Restoration of the Trans-boundary Amur Tiger Population_" from July 24th to the 25th, 2006, in Yanji, Jilin Province. It was sponsored by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). Relevant agencies, institutes, and experts from both China and Russia attended this meeting. The workshop focused on defining workable solutions to the problems preventing recovery of Amur tigers in China and on strengthening transboundary cooperation. The most important outcome of this workshop was the development of this "_Amur Tiger Conservation Action Plan_," which is intended to act as a guiding document for implementation of a recovery program for tigers in northeast China. We intend for this plan to be a living document that will be amended over time as needed, and thus, not only are concrete actions recommended, but mechanisms for implementation and management are also presented to ensure structures exist to ensure longevity to the process. We hope that this action plan, which was the result of extensive collaborative efforts, will be both a milestone and guiding document in the attempt to restore Amur tigers in China. |
