Opportunity: High standard trainings with tiger conservation focushave existed in Huai Kha Khaeng and Thung YaiWildlife Sanctuaries for many years.Expected outcome: The quality of trainers and trainees are improvedwith high standard courses.Duration and locations: 12 years, Tenasserim – WEFCOM as thetiger source site and DP-KY as the potential source site.Activities necessary to accomplish this objective:Activity 33: Strengthen the local instructor capacity for conductingtraining courses for tiger research and conservation forThai and international audiences.Activity 34: Establish a national standard as sufficient resources fortiger conservation training.Priority action 3: Strengthening monitoring, research andinformation managementObjective 11: Monitor tiger and prey populations in prioritylandscapesChallenge:Populations of tigers and prey in the core areas ofpriority landscapes need intensive monitoring systemswith up-to-date technologies to be able to speak withconfidence on population trends.Opportunity: The rigorous population monitoring systems of tigersand prey have been run in the core area of WEFCOMfor many years with collaborative support.Expected outcome: The success of tiger conservation activities canbe strongly linked to the target, which is the occurrenceof tigers and their prey.Duration and locations: 12 years, Tenasserim-WEFCOM as the tigersource site and DP-KY as the potential source site andother protected areas for a nation-wide survey.Activities necessary to accomplish this objective:Activity 35:Activity 36:Activity 37:Maintain and establish high standard annual populationmonitoring systems for tigers and their prey in tigersources and potential source sites in the prioritylandscapes.Establish landscape scale occupancy monitoringsystem for tigers and prey throughout the two prioritylandscapes.Implement a nationwide survey and reporting system ontigers and prey occurrence based on scientific methods.
Objective 12: Maintain long-term tiger and prey ecology research inpriority landscapesChallenge:Understanding the dynamics of tiger biology andecology in different habitats and landscapes is veryimportant for tiger conservation and restoration.Opportunity: Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary is the only site inSoutheast Asia with intensive long-term tiger researchwith a strong research team.Expected outcome: Managers and conservation scientists are betterequipped with understanding how tigers use thelandscapes, monitor inbreeding depression, and trackthe source of tigers and tiger parts confiscated fromillegal trade.Duration and locations: 12 years, Tenasserim-WEFCOM as the tigersource site and DP-KY as the potential source site andother protected areas for a nation-wide survey.Activities necessary to accomplish this objective:Activity 38:Activity 39:Strengthen long-term tiger ecology study in prioritylandscapes, especially to determine maximum densitiesthat can be supported in the landscapes to meetrecovery targets.Determine genetic structure of wild tigers at thepopulation level and of captive tigers.Objective 13: Ensure that relevant information for tiger conservationis well managed and available to inform strategy andplanningChallenge:Relevant information for tiger conservation is mostlyscattered and has not been used to inform managersefficiently.Opportunity: Information on tiger conservation in WEFCOM has beenadvanced and well organized in the last 5 years andWildlife Conservation Office of DNP has established aninformation center at the headquarter in Bangkok to bea center for smart patrol database.Expected outcome: The government of <strong>Thailand</strong> has a high qualitycentral database to cooperate with other organizationson tiger conservation.Duration and locations: 12 years, DNP’s headquarter in Bangkok.Activity necessary to accomplish this objective:Activity 40:Develop information structure that facilitates compilationof national tiger related data for improvement of tigerconservation.
