Big Cats: Tiger Conservation Symposium
On Monday June 09th, The World Bank Group, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the International Tiger Coalition join forces with scientists and celebrities to increase international action to reverse the alarming decline in wild tiger numbers. This new Tiger Conservation Initiative will be launched at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington D.C.
The symposium, Tiger Conservation - Moving from Lessons Learnt Towards a Winning Strategy, will highlight the work of many well-known tiger experts in a number of tiger range states from Russia to Nepal. It will focus on Lessons in Conservation and Development and Lessons in Trade, Governance and Finance. The afternoon will conclude with an expert panel discussing concrete next steps
towards a winning conservation strategy. These discussions will mark an important first step in outlining an action plan for the Bank and its partners to save wild tigers and their wild lands.
