  2. NTRP Synthesis Matrix

  3. NTRP Synthesis Matrix

  4. Continue Working in Tandem, Seek 100% Completion and Maintain Selectivity • Enshrine Most Desired Policy Support Actions in Declaration and Pledges: • Making Core Breeding Areas/Corridors Inviolate • Wildlife Law Reforms • Balancing development & conservation: legally establishing sound sectoral policies. • Empowering Communities • Payment for eco-services/valuation of landscapes. Build on progress yesterday

  5. Enshrine Primary Cross Boundary Actions In Declaration and Pledges. • Arresting Illegal Trade. • Eliminating Demand. • Joint Management of Priority Shared Landscapes • Enshrine Key Institutional Development Concepts in Declaration and Pledges. • Shift focus from Production Forestry to Conservation. • Create Specialized Wildlife Conservation Units • Professionalize Protection & Monitoring Units. • Unify Approach to Wildlife Crime. Build on progress yesterday

  6.
