Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme (ITHPC)

  • Initiated in 2014, the Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme (ITHCP) or ‘Tiger Programme‘ is a grant-making initiative that contributes to the Global Tiger Recovery Programme (GTRP), a global effort to double tiger numbers in the wild by 2022. 
  • The programme consists of a portfolio of 12 large-scale projects in key Tiger Conservation Landscapes across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Nepal and Myanmar. 

Global Tiger Forum(GTF)

  • The only international, intergovernmental organization of its kind owned and manned by Tiger Range Countries (TRCs).

It is also an implementing arm of the Global Tiger Initiative Council (GTIC),  for coordinating the Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) launched earlier by the Global  Tiger Initiative (GTI). GTF’s goal is to highlight the rationale for tiger preservation and provide leadership and a common approach throughout the world in order to safeguard the survival of the tiger, its prey and its habitat.
