| A Framework for Identifying High Priority Areas and Actions for the Conservation of Tigers in the Wild | |
| 1997 Full Book | |
The tiger, Panthera tigris, is threatened with extinction in the wild. Responding to this crisis, funds to halt the decline of tiger populations have been distributed mainly among a few protected areas. Many important sites and activities have been overlooked for funding, largely because there has been no method to systematically identify areas of high conservation potential. This project provides that method. In Part I, we identify priority areas for long-term tiger conservation across the tiger's range; in Part II, we identify international trade control needs. The assessment is intended to bring to the attention of international donors, conservation biologists, and policy makers the areas in which their investments and efforts can yield the biggest dividends in conserving tigers and their habitats. |
