| Integrated Tiger Protection and Monitoring in Bukit Tigapuluh National Park of Sumatra, Indonesia. Part 1 | |
| 2003 Full Book | |
Bukit Tigapuluh National Park (approx. 130,000 hectares), one of the most recently gazetted national parks in Indonesia, is a component of the globally significant Tesso Nilo habitat complex and a TCU level I priority habitat for the Sumatran tiger. However the habitat and its population of tigers is severely threatened due to habitat encroachment, illegal logging, tiger-human conflict and tiger/prey poaching. Effective conservation action has been further constrained by the limited resources available to the park. The project described here, partially funded by ExxonMobil Save The Tiger Fund, represents the implementation of a priority action as defined in the national and provincial level MoUs of the Sumatran Tiger Conservation Program - to initiate field protection, intelligence networks and population monitoring of tigers in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park. Current progress of the project (now in its 5 th month of operation having commenced in April 2009 is summarised in this report. |
