All TRCs will be invited to provide their national
input in standardised format documents. Support will
be provided by GTI as requested for this purpose.
In ad-vance of the Workshop TRC challenges and priority
actions proposed will be in-tegrated as appropriate
into WG discussions.
A number of lead authors—known experts—have
been identified to develop a series of background
technical papers to assist KGTW objectives. The lead
au-thors will assemble a small team of co-authors,
working with one or more experts from the Tiger Range
States. Background technical papers will be brief
and con-cise (5–10 pages) and should deliver
the following points:
-
An overview of successful cases
and key lessons learnt from past efforts for tiger
or other comparable species conservation worldwide;
-
A succinct justification/explanation
of why the suggested approaches will succeed where
previous attempts have seemingly failed;
-
A prioritized set of strategic
outcomes, which should be secured in order to achieve
the ultimate goal of “reversing the current
decline of tiger in the wild with a view to doubling
populations over the next 2 decades”.
-
A list of priority actions, which
need to be taken to ensure achievement of the strategic
outcomes and the ultimate goal;
-
A list of key references used in
the preparation of paper.
Proposed list of background technical papers
are:
