disease, forest fire, invasive species and climate change related hazards will be mitigated through applying research findings. To develop wildlife areas, reducing GHG emission & increasing CO sink, it is planned to reduce illegal action on protected areas by 80% during the plan period. The current level of 114 ton CO emission will be reduced by 50% annually. In collaboration with stakeholders, five new wildlife areas will be demarcated & legalised. In addition, six protected wildlife zones which have unclear boundaries will be demarcated & legalised. Management plan will be prepared for ten protected wildlife areas & those communities who live inside three national parks will be settled outside the parks through providing them with alternative means of livelihood. In addition, the coverage of necessary infrastructure facilities in national parks & protected wildlife zones will reach 70% by the end of the plan period. Moreover, rehabilitating protected wildlife areas & developing CO sinks will increase by 30% from existing 121.86 billion ton. A unit will be established to follow up and resolve conflicts of interests among wildlife & human settlements. Efforts will be made to register one protected wildlife area as World Natural Heritage Site. On the other hand, three rare animals that have escaped from protected areas will be reared and/or multiplied. Implementation Strategies
