Objective: Increasing tiger populations through improved
management and monitoring of five transboundary
tiger sites in Nepal and India, with foci on law enfor-
cement, biological monitoring, and sustainable
development for local communities in the surrounding
landscape.
Highlights (project outcomes):

Banke and Nandaur reduces tiger poaching over the
3-year period
Current tiger population: ~198-> Expected increase to: ~238 tigers
• Improved management effectiveness in 5 PAs (Sukla and
Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Bardia and Banke National Parks
and Nandaur Wildlife Sanctuary) supports the monitoring
and conservation of tiger populations over the 3-year period

established across Sukla, Bardia, Banke and Nandaur PA
reduces the negative impacts of living with tigers over the
3-year period.
• Access to improved and alternative livelihoods for com-
munity members living around the Sukla, Bardia, Banke
and Nandaur PAis improved over the 3-year period
Project investments:

Objective: Stabilize the population of Sumatran tiger by the end of project,
through implementation of the NTRP in five tiger core areas in four priority TCLs
accounting for >70% of the remaining population. This will be achieved through
supporting: 1) Intensive protection of five core PAs holding the main tiger
source populations; 2) Sustainable landscape management across >69’000 km2
of prime tiger habitat; and 3) Community livelihood buffer zone initiatives at
PA borders.
Highlights (project outcomes):
• Tiger and prey populations are stabilised in core areas of 4 target
PAs by 2018
Current tiger population is ~ 85
• Effective landscape-level management in 4 priority Tiger Conservation
Landscapes, covering >69,000 km2 maintains tiger forest habitat
integrity and reduces illegal wildlife trade
• Community-based buffer zone management secures borders of 4 PAs
and tiger populations, whilst simultaneously delivering tangible local
livelihood benefits
