Tiger Conservation Landscapes Reports
 In 1995, the World Wildlife Fund and Wildlife
Conservation Society prepared a framework to guide and
prioritize in situ tiger conservation efforts across Asia. Commissioned
by the Save the Tiger Fund, the study rapidly became a roadmap to guide
tiger conservation, and was widely used by researchers and conservation
biologists. Nine years later, WWF, WCS and Save The tiger Fund are in
the process of updating and revising the TCU map and underlying database
to reflect changes in available habitat for tigers, available
information on threats and prey abundance, and progress in conservation
efforts to date in the TCUs.
The methods used and models created this time around differ
significantly from the 1997 document. This has been an inclusive and
collaborative effort in regards to the sharing of tiger data and map
revisions. TCU’s have been defined differently (now called Tiger
Conservation Landscapes). This second document, referred to as TCU 2.0,
will take the format of a ‘living document’. Besides a
technical report that is transparent in our methodologies, there is
a smaller, 40 page users guide that is user-friendly, and
will made accessible to tiger range states to help guide tiger
conservation efforts and priorities. Over all, the outcomes of
this project will present a more realistic and accurate picture of tiger
conservation and for setting better and more effective conservation
priorities to ensure the survival of the tiger.
