| Persian leopard National Conservation and Management Action Plan in Iran | |
| 2016 Full Book | |
All parts of the plan were approved by the specialized DoE units and relevant staff during the fall and winter 2015. The design to implement the plan was in the form of a matrix structure, and it is managed by a committee comprising of a National Project Manager, as well as a Supervision Steering Committee. The technical committee, regional as well as headquarter offices coordinators, respectively, are the others involved in making decisions about specific issues and administrative affairs. The topics covered in the plan include training and empowerment, public relations and media affairs, habitats and protected and non-protected areas, Pardisan Nature Park, veterinary, rescue and rehabilitation; protection and wildlife wardens, international affairs and transboundary habitats, Persian leopard insurance and compensation plan, genetic resources, research, monitoring and evaluation, Persian Leopard National Network with a focus on leopard and issues relevant to its prey species. A. Sanei (Executive Director of the Asian Leopard Specialist Society) had been nominated as the Executive Director for participatory development of the current National Action Plan for conservation and management of the Persian leopard in Iran. The plan is defined in a cooperative process and concerns the maximum domestic, technical, indigenous and local capacities, as well as the earlier undertaken measures. I hope that this plan will take an effective step toward the conservation of this invaluable species by relying on the cooperation, assistance and efforts of the wide range of stakeholders, responsible units and partners. |
