===== 1. How does your project address the needs of your target audience? The project addresses the need for habitat restoration and protection for tigers, which is critical for their survival. It also addresses the local communities’ need for sustainable livelihoods by involving them in conservation efforts. Additionally, it raises awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the role tigers play in ecosystem health. =====
# What research or data supports the need for this project in the community? Research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) indicates that tiger populations have decreased by over 95% in the past century, primarily due to habitat destruction and poaching. Studies show that communities living near tiger habitats can benefit economically from conservation programs through ecotourism and sustainable agriculture.
# How will you measure the success and impact of this project? We will measure success through the monitoring of restored habitat areas, tracking tiger populations via camera traps and field surveys, and collecting data on the number of community members engaged in conservation programs. Success will also be evaluated by legislative changes and improvements in anti-poaching efforts.
# What long-term benefits do you hope this project will bring to the community? Long-term benefits include a more stable and sustainable local economy driven by ecotourism, improved biodiversity that supports local agriculture, and the establishment of stronger, lasting conservation practices within the community. The project will also provide a model for other regions to follow in tiger conservation efforts.
# Can you describe any previous successes or lessons learned from similar projects? In 2022, our partnership with WCS led to the restoration of 500 acres of tiger habitat in India, which resulted in a 15% increase in tiger sightings and reduced poaching activities by 30%. One key lesson was the importance of early community engagement to ensure long-term project sustainability.
