Members will also discuss on strengthening the strategy for tiger conservation and a refined methodology which will be used for the next tiger evaluation.
Assessment of ecological integrity of tiger reserves as an integral part of the management effectiveness will also be taken up during this meeting.
“To promote ownership among stakeholders as well as transparency, diversity of stakeholders is essential. It is necessary that those who are part of a tiger reserve must use the assessment results to improve the condition of that individual reserve. It will help in bringing the required changes that are necessary for wildlife conservation,” said a member of the NTCA, adding that timing of the next all-India tiger estimation and NTCA’s logo will also be finalised. During the last census, the International Union for Conservation of Nature had given few suggestions to Project Tiger on its evaluation process.
