| National Tiger Action Plan for Lao PDR 2010-2020 | |
| 2010 Full Book | |
The primary objective of this National Tiger Action Plan (TAP) is to establish a focused strategy that lays out specific actions to be taken over the next 10 years (2010-2020) toward an overarching vision of securing healthy functioning forest ecosystems where viable tiger populations thrive forever. The overall goal for this plan is to elevate the existing tiger numbers to the level of viable breeding populations at source site, Nam Et-Phou Louey NPA, ensure connectivity between all TCLs, and obtain baseline data on tiger populations for all TCLs in Lao PDR by 2020. The plan was developed in line with existing national policies and legislative structure relevant to wildlife conservation. This framework includes the National Growth and Poverty Eradication Strategy, the National Forest Strategy, National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, and the National Socio-Economic Development Plan, and National Wildlife Law of Lao PDR. The plan identifies seven objectives necessary toward achieving the goal, these include; 1. Increase public awareness and support for the recovery and conservation of wild tigers and their habitats 2. Identify and demarcate totally protected zones (TPZs) in protected areas and corridors for connectivity between TPZs in tiger conservation landscapes. 3. Increase and make effective the enforcement of national regulations and international conventions to stop killing of tigers and to regulate illegal harvest and trade of tiger prey. 4. Increase national cross-sectoral cooperation for the recovery and conservation of wild tigers and their habitats 5. Increase international cooperation to reduce the illegal trade of tiger and prey to neighboring countries 6. Monitor and reduce human-tiger conflict in tiger conservation landscapes 7. Strengthen Protected Area organization, capacity and sustainable financing to effectively implement management activities to reduce threats to tigers and prey at priority source sites in Class 1 and 2 tiger conservation landscapes. |
