Abstract
The vision of this National Tiger Action Plan for Lao PDR 2010 - 2020 is: A Lao PDR with large functioning forest ecosystems where tigers thrive forever, which provides sustainable social, economic and environmental benefits to the people of Lao PDR. Based on the vision, the goal of the Plan is set up as: To increase size of breeding population of tigers at source site, Nam Et-Phou Louey, ensure connectivity between all tiger landscapes, and obtain baseline data on tiger populations for all TCLs in Lao PDR, by 2020.
To achieve the goal, the objectives of the Plan are identified: 1. Increase public awareness and support for the recovery and conservation of wild tigers and their habitats; 2. Identify and demarcate totally protected zones (TPZs) in protected areas and corridors for connectivity between TPZs in tiger conservation landscapes; 3. Increase and make effective the enforcement of national regulations and international conventions to stop killing of tigers and to regulate illegal harvest and trade of tiger prey; 4. Increase national cross-sectoral cooperation for the recovery and conservation of wild tigers and their habitats; 5. Increase international cooperation to reduce the illegal trade of tiger and prey to neighboring countries; 6. Monitor and reduce human-tiger conflict in tiger conservation landscapes; 7. Strengthen PA organization, capacity and sustainable financing to effectively implement management activities to reduce threats to tigers and prey at priority source sites in Class 1 and 2 tiger conservation landscapes.
The interventions proposed in the Plan include: Approve PA management plans to ensure crosssectoral compliance with PA TPZs and corridors; Establish, train, and coordinate a multisectoral law enforcement team to effectively implement PA regulations, CITES and CBD international conventions at source sites; Compile land use and socioeconomic data to inform the demarcation of PA zones; Establish and train protected area outreach units to design, deliver and evaluate the effectiveness of outreach activities; etc.
