Global Tiger Workshop, Kathmandu

27-30 October 2009

 

From October 27-30, 2009, the Government of Nepal, will host the Global

Tiger Workshop, which is being co-organized jointly with the World Bank and

other GTI participants.

 

The aim of the Global Tiger Workshop is to frame innovative on-ground

strategies for tiger conservation based on best practices identified during

the last few decades as well as extensive consultations with governments,

NGOs, conservation experts and practitioners. This milestone meeting will

also serve the purpose of implementing Decision 14.70, adopted at the last

meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES, and further consolidating

and promoting action-oriented solutions towards the fulfillment of the GTI

objectives. The Workshop will build on suggestions from international

experts, existing national Tiger Action Plans and recent research to

articulate:

 

 

- (1) targets, objectives and activities for the long-term conservation

of tigers;

- (2) policies and practical measures for the integration of tiger

conservation into national development objectives;

- (3) principles of international co-operation and harmonization of

national, regional and trans-boundary management and, ultimately,

- (4) a set of urgent actions to stop the further decline of wild tiger

populations..

 

The output of the Workshop will be a Global Strategy for Tiger Conservation,

and will be reported to COP15. This Strategy will also form the basis of the

Global Tiger Summit and the Asia Ministerial Conference on Wildlife

Enforcement and Tiger Conservation, to be held in 2010, that would endorse,

at highest political levels, ambitious targets and specific commitments for

tiger conservation in each of the tiger-range countries. This Workshop will

be attended by senior officials and conservation practitioners both from

tiger-range and other countries.
