After discussing priority landscape with the participating agencies, GTF mission team suggested Inputs for the Myanmar Tiger Action Plan.
A basic framework for the Myanmar Tiger Action Plan was suggested with the centrality of Tiger Agenda, since wild tiger conservation requires the active support of several stakeholders and government departments, the contours of a multi-stakeholder/sectoral Tiger Action Plan was suggested, vis-à-vis the three basic engagement levels, viz. local (field formations), national and international.
