| Tiger Conservation and Priority Areas for Ecological Restoration: A Landscape Approach Final Report to NFWF: 2000-2001 | |
| 2001 Full Book | |
In July 2001 we submitted a report that summarized the results of our activities during the past field season. This final report reviews the extent to which we accomplished the goals set out in our original proposal. See the interim report for project results. This report also outlines our current plans to complete our objectives. The objectives of the original proposal were extended to a larger geographical area since the inception of this project in October of 1999. Bhim Gurung plans to complete his thesis by the end of February and will return to Nepal to continue working on the NFWF project under new funding. He will expand the role of the Villager Rangers to include additional biodiversity monitoring and will also extend the network of Village Rangers to the buffer zones of Royal Chitwan and Bardia national parks. This expansion is important in light of the increased human tiger conflict (man eating by tigers). Mahendra Shrestha will continue to analyze data for his thesis and he and Smith will work closely with other organizations on the TAL project. Smith will present a long term research plan to the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC) in February and will circulate that plan after seeking comments from the Department. |
