This document outlines a comprehensive conservation plan to recover endangered tiger populations and preserve their habitats within Thailand's Western Forest Complex, particularly in the Huai Kha Khaeng and Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuaries. Key strategies include extensive tiger ecology research using modern technologies, collaborative efforts with international conservation agencies to meet population recovery targets, and robust anti-poaching measures for both tigers and their ungulate prey species. The plan also integrates advanced technology such as smart patrol systems utilizing GPS and GIS, and infrared camera traps for tiger identification and population monitoring. Furthermore, it emphasizes rigorous physical and mental training for park rangers to enhance their effectiveness in wildlife and forest supervision. The overall aim, established since 2006, is to turn the tide of extinction, striving for a significant recovery of the tiger population, and to establish the Western Forest Complex as a critical stronghold for tiger conservation in Southeast Asia.

This document outlines an invasive alien plant (IAP) restoration strategy and management plan for Maputo National Park (MNP) with a five-year costing. It identifies 32 alien plant species, prioritizing Parthenium for control due to its emerging threat, and notes Lantana and Chromolaena as dominant IAPs. The plan establishes a phased prioritization for control areas: Category A for prevention and rapid response, Category B1 for maintaining clean areas, Category B2 & B4 for controlling infestations from lowest to highest densities, Category B3 for specific costly IAPs, Category C for Eucalyptus and Pine control with existing funding, and Category D for buffer zones. The overarching goal is to achieve a maintenance level of below 2% IAP density across the park within five years, primarily through natural regeneration complemented by targeted interventions.

This Preliminary Process Framework outlines the Building a Blue Future for Ecosystems and People on the East African Coast project, which aims to establish a new, sustainable-use Marine Protected Area (MPA) and a network of community-managed fishing areas in Memba and Mossuril districts of Nampula province, Mozambique. The project's overall objective is to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services, reduce vulnerability, and increase the resilience of local communities to climate change impacts, while supporting resource-based livelihoods, particularly fisheries. It focuses on two main outcomes: improving resilience of climate-relevant ecosystems through protection and management, and enhancing livelihoods of vulnerable communities. The plan emphasizes mitigating potential economic displacement due to access restrictions through avoidance and minimization strategies, strong stakeholder engagement, and community-based approaches to ensure benefits and sustainability.

The Revised Regional Action Plan for the Conservation of the Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) aims to improve the conservation status and ensure the long-term survival of this Critically Endangered ape. Developed by a consensus of experts, the plan focuses on eliminating poaching, securing remaining habitat, and maintaining connectivity between gorilla areas. Key actions include continued research into distribution and biology, promoting community-based conservation models, safeguarding habitat corridors, improving management of existing protected areas, implementing health monitoring and disease prevention, developing ecotourism, supporting transboundary conservation efforts, and expanding awareness campaigns, while also addressing local livelihood issues.

This National Management Plan for the Panthera onca aims to guide jaguar conservation in Paraguay by compiling biological and conservation status data and establishing a plan of action to ensure viable wild populations. It addresses the species' endangered status due to habitat loss, hunting, and climate change. The plan focuses on five key action areas: research and ecoregional vision, public policies, in-situ conservation, ex-situ conservation, and education, communication, awareness, and tourism. The overall goal is to foster the conservation of connected Panthera onca populations across Paraguay, promoting harmony with productive landscapes and engaging all sectors of society.
