Rhino & Tiger Conservation Fund "The purpose of this project is to greatly improve the management systems that operate in five national parks that cover 3.16 million hectares. This will be done by introducing the globally- recognized Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) to assess protected area management effectiveness (in 2014 and retrospectively in 2011). It will use METT to identify management constraints and priority needs that will be addressed in subsequent strategic plans. The project will also review the current implementation of SMART in each national park, identify areas for improvement, which will be addressed through refresher training, and improve coordination and sharing of experiences between national parks and with the central government. Specifically, the project will (1) facilitate the active involvement of the Ministry of Forests and/or HarimauKita in 4 tiger landscapes; (2) conduct a gap analysis of the 4 tiger landscapes; (3) develop a strategy document for future tiger activities in each landscape; (4) train 20 masters trainers in METT; (5) conduct 10 METT analyses; (6) identify management capacity through baseline METT assessments of the parks; (7) train 15 master trainers on SMART; (8) train 40 rangers in SMART patrolling; and (9) identify law enforcement needs in each of the parks. ."

Community-based Western Hoolock Conservation in Pauk Sa Forest, Myanmar Throughout its range, the Western Hoolock (Hoolock hoolock) gibbon is threatened by habitat conversion for agriculture, infrastructure development causing fragmentation, and in some locations, illegal hunting. Within the Pauk Sa forest complex, Magwe region of Myanmar, the major threat is shifting cultivation that destroys and degrades forest habitat. Emerging relationships with the coffee industry and anticipated new legislation (currently being finalized in parliament) will allow for community managed protected areas to receive legal recognition and provide a significant opportunity to meaningfully address the shifting cultivation practices that threaten gibbon habitat. Project objectives are to: (1) Reduce shifting cultivation through the expansion of coffee agroforestry and improved value chains in collaboration with a private sector partner; (2) Support protected area gazettement based on the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) of local stakeholders; and, (3) Monitor forest cover and status of Western Hoolock gibbons in the Pauk Sa forest complex.
Way Kambas National Park pilot project for habitat regeneration, fire protection, and elephant conflict mitigation in Sumatra, Indonesia The purpose of this project is to address three threats to elephant populations in Way Kambas National Park, Sumatra: 1) Loss of habitat and intentionally set fires; 2) elephant mortality due to human-elephant conflict; and 3) suspected increases in salinity in Park water sources forcing wildlife to leave the protected area in search of fresh water. The recipient will address these threats with activities that focus on regenerating and replanting forests, mitigating human-elephant conflict, and providing sources of fresh water for both wild elephants and fire suppression. Specific activities related to reforestation include: survey and identification of project site, recruitment and training of personnel, construction of project base camp and related infrastructure, survey of naturally regenerating trees in the project site with bird and bat perches installed to facilitate seed dispersal, establishment of plant nursery for propagation of food plants attractive to wild elephants, creation of a fire-management plan, purchase of firefighting equipment, creation and maintenance of fire-breaks, and provision of a dual 24-hour fire and elephant watch system. Activities related to the mitigation of human-elephant conflict include: recruitment and training of field staff for early elephant warning duty, provision of a dual 24-hour fire and elephant watch system, establishment of a village partnership for sharing responsibility of fire and elephant warning systems, and delivery of an awareness education program to the community. The recipient will monitor salinity of water sources in the Park, construct artificial ponds to collect rain water for both fire response and elephants, and monitor pond usage by wildlife with camera traps. ..This award period of performance will be one year; however the project is expected to extend over a two-year period. Pending receipt of financial and performance reports and availability of funds, the award may be extended for an additional year
