| The Thimphu affirmative nine-point action agenda on tiger conservation | |
| 2012 Full Book | |
The leaders of the governments of the 13 Tiger Range Countries1 (TRCs) met in November, 2010, at the International Tiger Forum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and declared their collective political will to take all action necessary to prevent the extinction of wild tigers. They set the goal of doubling the numbers of wild tigers globally by 2022 in the St. Petersburg Declaration on Tiger Conservation, and endorsed the Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) as a road map to reach that goal, supported by international partners to mobilize needed external resources. The TRC Ministers or their representatives who are charged with implementing the GTRP and its constituent National Tiger Recovery Priorities, met on October 22-23, 2012, at the Second Asian Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation in Thimphu, Bhutan, to reflect on advances thus far, enhance the action agenda through 2014, and re-emphasize their political will for tiger conservation demonstrated at the International Tiger Forum. Progress in reversing the wild tigers' decline toward extinction has been significant based on actions undertaken by TRCs. Nonetheless, the threats to wild tigers and their natural habitats are seen to be increasing. Tiger landscapes are economically and politically undervalued and their importance to human well-being poorly recognized. Building on the pledges of the St. Petersburg Declaration, the Ministers or the Heads of Delegations of the TRCs have identified an affirmative nine-point action agenda up to 2014 and ask partners to intensify their support. |
