D. Smith. 2009. Bangladesh Tiger Action Plan 2009-2017. Bangladesh Forest Department, Ministry of Environment
and Forests, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Comments: This tiger action plan is primarily focused on a unique tiger habitat of mangrove forest ecosystem in Sundarbans in Bangladesh along the coastal area in the Indian Ocean. This area is surrounded by high density human population and suffers with high level of tiger-human conflicts, manifested human killings, livestock depredations, and ultimately retribution killings of tigers by affected local communities. The potential effect of climate change may lose much of this tiger habitat because of rising in the sea level.

| Tiger Action Plan – Indonesia (English version courtesy of Global Tiger Initiative/World Bank)
PHKA. 2007/ CONSERVATION STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN FOR THE SUMATRAN TIGER (Panthera tigris sumatrae) 2007 – 2017. Comment: This document is the English version (courtesy of the Global Tiger Initiative/World Bank) of the original document in Bahasa Indonesia. It describes the strategy to stabilize Sumatran tiger population by 2017 under the present extensive pressure from various land use interests particularly loss of natural forest (tiger habitat) to massive scale of industrial plantations, poaching of tigers and prey, and conflicts arising from increased human pressure. Currently, various conservation groups are engaged in getting out some tiger population estimates with an island (entire Sumatra) wide patch occupancy survey and rigorous camera trapping in core tiger habitats. The current tiger population estimate from 8 out of 18 tiger habitats surveyed is 250 mature individuals.
