Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) is the often photo-trapped in pairs. Repeat 'recapture' of the same individuals suggests that these pairings may be of largest protected area in which Asian tapir Tapirus indicus occurs. Data collected during 3 years of bio-long duration. Evidence of distribution and threats throughout the Park and adjacent forests was collected diversity surveys indicated that KSNP is one of the most important remaining areas for Asian tapir. Evidence of to produce a greater understanding of how best to safeguard the future of this species in KSNP. Deliberate tapirs was collected by photo-trapping, recording of tapir signs, and interviewing local people. Photo-trapping was hunting of tapirs in KSNP was found to be rare, and habitat loss and fragmentation poses the most serious carried out in four locations, each representing a different forest type. The results showed that the Asian threat. tapir is widespread throughout the Park and found in a variety of habitats, from montane cloud forests to

The Sumatran tiger, categorized as Critically of TPCU patrol size from the number of arrests, and chainsaw and snare trap confiscations per patrol. The Endangered on the 2002 IUCN Red List, is threatened by poaching for domestic and international markets, by success of forest patrols increased with the number of TPCU staC per patrol. We looked at general law enforce-prey depletion from human hunting and by habitat loss from illegal and commercial logging, oil palm pro-ment for KSNP, which appeared to be inadequate. To reduce the threat posed by poaching and illegal logging duction, pioneer farming, mining operations and forest fires. Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) in west-central extra TPCU staC are required for patrols, and extra patrol units are required for the northern and southern sections Sumatra still has large blocks of forest that support tiger populations. In this paper we present information on of the Park. In KSNP it is necessary to monitor habitat loss, establish an unambiguous scheme to mitigate human-photo-trapping and tiger distribution in KSNP and adjoining forest. Tigers were found to be present in all tiger conflict, and develop a photo-trapping programme to monitor the tiger population. habitat types across KSNP. The poaching pressures on tigers and their prey species were evaluated from confiscations of snare traps by Tiger Protection and
