Recovery planning towards doubling wild tiger Panthera tigris numbers: Detailing 18 recovery sites from across the range

Abstract With less than 3200 wild tigers in 2010, the heads of 13 tiger-range countries committed to doubling the global population of wild tigers by 2022. This goal represents the highest level of ambition and commitment required to turn the tide for tigers in the wild. Yet, ensuring efficient and targeted implementation of conservation actions alongside systematic monitoring of progress towards this goal requires that we set site-specific recovery targets and timelines that are ecologically realistic. In this study, we assess the recovery potential of 18 sites identified under WWF’s Tigers Alive Initiative. are extended. https://conservewildcats.org/recovery-planning-towards-doubling-wild-tiger/
