2 IMPLEMENTING AGENCY TECHNICAL SUPPORT Additional Financial support

3 TIGER AS LANDSCAPE SPECIES

4 TIGER: PROTECTION DEPENDENT SPECIES

5 CORE BREEDING AREA : HKK-TY (6,400) & TIGER LANDSCAPE :Tenasserim (40,000 sq.km) WESTERN FOREST COMPLEX WEFCOM HUAI KHA KHAENG & THUNG YAI WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES KEANG KRACHAN NATIONAL PARK

11 KEY MODEL USED TO RECOVER TIGERS GOAL Conserve wildlife and its habitat in the world heritage site Conservation Objective Increase tiger density by 50% within 2016 Direct Threat Loss of prey due to poaching MONITORING MONITORING Indirect Threat Ineffective law enforcement MONITORING Intervention Systematic patrol MONITORING

12 POWER OF INFORMATION What is MIST? A spatial Management Information System Undergoing development since 1997 by Uganda Wildlife Authority as part of a GTZ project Subsequently implemented in protected areas in both Africa and Asia Developed as a user friendly client/server application program

13 SITES WITH RANGER-BASED LEM IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

15 TYPE OF DATA RECORDED Location, date & time of patrol Animal observations & signs Including data on any abnormalities (death, illness etc) Human activities Hunting, logging, fishing, NTFP collection and land clearance activities Presence of cartridges, road, settlement, camps & vehicles Law enforcement activities Warning letters and contracts issued Confiscations

16 MIST STRONG POINT Fast and accurate data entry GPS data download Use of look up lists and tick boxes for observations Avoid type in mistakes Automatic monthly reporting and maps Customizable site specific report formats GIS mapping interface Trends analysis User friendly, easily accessible and easy to maintain and up date No need for GIS or database expert

17 MIST GIS MIST GIS only a component of MIST Data Collection Data Processing (maps & reports) Other Components include: Annual Operations Planning Digital Archives Address Database Literature Database Partner Database

18 HKK-TY RANGERS INVOLVED: 43 Ranger Stations 43 Patrol teams >310 Park rangers Patrol Types: Foot patrol

19 MIST PROCESS AT SITE LEVEL Law enforcement patrol Data collection Data forms Debriefing Trouble shoot problems Clarify discrepancies Complete missing information Patrol leader Site officer Warden Patrol teams Strategy meetings MIST reports Data entry MIST User Monthly planning and evaluation Disseminate monthly National and site copies Enter Patrol Data/Print Reports Analyze Data Brief Site/Park Manager

20 Example of outputs produced by MIST Indices for monitoring of wildlife populations and human activities Distribution maps (Threats, Wildlife, Patrol intensity) for planning and monitoring Baseline information for patrol deployment planning Performance indicators All reporting requirements

30 BEST PRACTICE FOR ALL LEVELS POLICY LEVEL GOOD GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPARENT SYSTEM MANAGEMENT LEVEL QUALITY INFORMATION - BASED DECISION MAKING SHORT AND LONG TERM PLANNING DATA SYSTEM: SYSTEMATIC AND STANDARDIZED BETTER MONITORING TOOL RANGER & GUARD LEVEL HIGH MORALE AND SELF ESTEEM (GOOD SPIRIT) TRUE CAPACITY BUILDING FOR STWARDSHIP CONCRETE PERFORMANCE MONITORING
