COMMUNITY COMMITMENT Whatever walk of life we come from, we can play a part in challenging the loss of nature. That's why working with local people is such an important part of what we do. This community-led anti-poaching team in Nepal is on the frontline of efforts to protect tigers, guarding a crucial wildlife corridor that links Bardia National Park with India's Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. Empowering local communities in conservation has contributed to a tripling of the tiger population in Bardia National Park, and helped achieve similar results in other parts of Nepal, as well as in southern Bhutan. And as wild tigers continue to thrive, the future prospects for local communities and habitats grow brighter too. © WWF-Nepal Our efforts have also promoted coexistence between herders and snow leopards in Kyrgizstan and Mongolia; farmers and elephants in Kenya; and whale sharks and fishermen in Indonesian Papua. We are committed to grow our work with local communities, embracing a logic of co-benefits, inclusivity and synergy. together possible TM WWF-INT Annual Review 2017 page 26http://wwf.panda.org/people
