Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating lasting benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats or that do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action will be rejected.7. Strike a regulatory balance: Decisions made in the conservation of tigers and/or rhinoceroses are based on strong science and thorough analysis.10.
