| National Action Plan for the conservation of leopard in Georgia (2010-2014) | |
| 2010 Full Book | |
Leopard long-term conservation cannot be achieved without regional cooperation. The most important step towards this goal was the workshop organized by WWF and IUCN Cat Specialist Group, held in 2007 in Tbilisi. Its purpose was to discuss the conservation of leopard at ecoregional level. The workshop brought together scientists, decision makers and other stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental sectors of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Turkey and Russia. As a result, the "Strategy for the Conservation of the Leopard in the Caucasus Ecoregion" was developed. The aim of the Conservation Strategy was to define goals and objectives, identify priority conservation actions at the range level, and provide guidance for the development and implementation of National Action Plans. Therefore, the National Action Plan for Leopard Conservation in Georgia is based on the ecoregional strategy of this species with timeframe about 5 years. This document is the result of a joint effort between Minister of Environment Protection and Natural Resources of Georgia, WWF and NACRES. Development of Action plan involved a wide range of experts and stakeholders, including representatives from research institutions, as well as governmental and non-governmental organizations. In April 2009, the first draft of the plan was developed. The document was circulated among experts and other stakeholders for review. Comments and suggestions from this review process were taken into account, wherever possible, during the preparation of the final draft, which was then submitted to the Ministry of Environment for final comments and approval. |
