| Asian Big Cats Strategic Action Plan for China 2007-2017 | |
| 2006 Full Book | |
This Strategic Action Plan builds on the ABC conservation work that WWF and TRAFFIC are engaged in China. WWF China has prioritised ABC conservation as a key programme. In north eastern China, WWF China is working with tiger nature reserves and forest farms to protect the Amur tiger and its habitat. It is currently working with partners to initiate transboundary collaboration with the Russian Far East authorities for tiger monitoring and habitat conservation. Working closely with the local people and governments, WWF is helping to establish protected areas, improve their management effectiveness, develop sustainable use practices to benefit local communities, integrate High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs) identification into government regulations and promote the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification among the forestry sectors. TRAFFIC is WWF and IUCN's joint wildlife trade monitoring network. In China, TRAFFIC East Asia is working in close partnership with relevant government agencies and the WWF China Programme to curb the trade in ABCs. The conservation needs of the common leopard and clouded leopard are not being addressed broadly or directly, but rather by addressing the trade threat and through the tiger landscape conservation approach. This landscape conservation approach means that the biodiversity and ecosystems of huge habitat areas are conserved that benefits the survival of all ABCs. The landscape approach ensures extensive habitat areas and the connectivities between protected areas are protected and maintained, which allows dispersal of other species as well. |
