The following suggested scope for <strong>the</strong> tiger supplemental assessment is taken from<br />
page 64 of <strong>the</strong> SmartWood <str<strong>on</strong>g>HCVF</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Assessment</str<strong>on</strong>g> Report for <strong>the</strong> Serapung FMU.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Supplemental</str<strong>on</strong>g> study to determine <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> indicative <str<strong>on</strong>g>HCVF</str<strong>on</strong>g> area to<br />
<strong>the</strong> survival and l<strong>on</strong>g-term viability of a tiger populati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> area.<br />
Objective:<br />
5 To evaluate <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> defined area of forest within <strong>the</strong> Serapung<br />
unit towards maintenance of a tiger populati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> wider area.<br />
Study Area:<br />
5 The coastal strip between Tanjung Datuk at <strong>the</strong> mouth of <strong>the</strong> Kampar river to<br />
<strong>the</strong> next river channel entering <strong>the</strong> sea, at Pulau Tadi (Refer map), extending 10<br />
km inland from <strong>the</strong> coast.<br />
5 C<strong>on</strong>tained within this study area is a 5,884 ha block of forest within <strong>the</strong> FMU.<br />
Implementati<strong>on</strong>:<br />
5 The study will be c<strong>on</strong>ducted by an independent specialist team, lead by a<br />
recognized expert in tiger ecology and rapid survey techniques.<br />
Scope of Work:<br />
5 Determine <strong>the</strong> estimated size of this tiger populati<strong>on</strong><br />
5 Evaluate <strong>the</strong> habitat utilizati<strong>on</strong> and distributi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> populati<strong>on</strong> within <strong>the</strong> study<br />
area.<br />
5 Evaluate <strong>the</strong> populati<strong>on</strong>’s comparative utilizati<strong>on</strong> of different habitat types: peat<br />
swamp forest, coastal alluvial bench forests, sec<strong>on</strong>dary habitats and farmlands.<br />
5 Taking into account current and future land use of <strong>the</strong> wider area, determine <strong>the</strong><br />
l<strong>on</strong>g term viability of this populati<strong>on</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> area (and primary habitats)<br />
required to support it.<br />
5 Determine if <strong>the</strong> defined forest block within <strong>the</strong> FMU c<strong>on</strong>stitutes an integral part<br />
of <strong>the</strong> area and habitat required to support <strong>the</strong> tiger populati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> l<strong>on</strong>g term.<br />
Outputs:<br />
5 A report detailing <strong>the</strong> findings of <strong>the</strong> study<br />
Timeframe:<br />
5 3 – 6 m<strong>on</strong>ths<br />
Budget:<br />
5 To be developed with identified specialist team.<br />
