Projects receiving grants from 21st Century Tiger are expected to produce two reports over the year. The interim report shows whether progress is being made against the objectives laid out in the proposal of work. The success of a project can then be monitored and measured.

Consequently, tigers in some areas of the National Park are very vulnerable to poaching. This serious problem will be addressed by the Lingkar Institute in a strategically important...
