Conservation Assured | Tiger Standards [CA|TS]

CA|TS is a conservation tool developed in 2013, in collaboration with field managers, tiger experts and government agencies engaged in tiger conservation.
It sets best practice and standards to manage target species, and encourages assessments to benchmark progress.
Tigers are the first species selected for the initiative.
CA|TS is being adopted for use beyond tigers, including potentially jaguars, lions and freshwater dolphins.
WWF is helping tiger range countries to implement CA|TS.
National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) announced the adoption of the across all of the country’s 50 Tiger Reserves.
These 50 Tiger Reserves are spread across 18 states containing over 70% of the world’s tiger population.
By this India becomes first among the 13 tiger range countries to nationally adopt CA|TS.
This brings India’s total number of registered sites to 94 (which include sites outside the Tiger Reserves).
