| Pelestarian Harimau Sumatera: Kerinci Seblat. Final programmatic report for project number 2001-0152-015 Grant Period May 2002- April 2003 | |
| 2003 Full Book | |
The purpose of the project is to support Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) in the implementation of the Indonesian Government commitment regarding protection of endangered species and particularly the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. In the longer term, the project looks to develop a sustainable and effective species protection programme in one of Southeast Asia's most important national parks which may serve as a model for other species protection programmes elsewhere in Indonesia. Pre-emptive and positive action was taken to reduce the poaching of the Sumatran tiger within and around Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS) and against trafficking in tiger and tiger products outside the forest. The project team also worked to protect Sumatran tiger prey species and tiger habitat and additionally intervened in and sought to identify the causes of human-tiger conflict incidents to protect both forest-edge communities and Sumatran tigers. Through working with national park rangers and other staff, the project team additionally sought to build capacity and awareness of tiger conservation issues and threats to survival of the species. The project operated during the reporting period under the day-to-day control and direction of Unit Manager Alip Tantun Hartana SSI, a member of TNKS management staff, reporting directly to the Director of the national park who subsequently reports to the Director General of Protected Areas in Jakarta. Day-to-day activities were conducted by Tiger Protection and Conservation Units and recruitment of a third four-man TPCU was completed in October 2002 with funding from 21st Century Tiger. The units operated from two Base Camps at Sungai Penuh, capital of Kerinci district and at Bangko, capital of Merangin district, 120 miles to the east of Kerinci. |
