Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme - Phase III

The ITHCP was set up in 2014, financed by the German Government through KFW and implemented by IUCN. This is its third phase, which follows Phase I and II, and will be implemented over the course of four years. The programme is aligned with the objectives of the Global Tiger Recovery Programme and its objectives are a subset of those, with a focus on improving three main areas:
• The management of protected areas, corridors and buffer zones;
• The protection of tigers through anti-poaching, and monitoring of tigers and prey;
• The livelihoods of communities living in and around tiger habitats to reduce poaching, over-exploitation of forest resources and human wildlife conflicts.
