It should include Forum HarimauKita (FHK) in the Key National Stakeholders. The FHK is the main independent partner for the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in conserving the Sumatran tigers. It plays an important role in GTI in Indonesia since it was introduced in January 2008. It was one of the main contributors for the the recent tiger pre-summit meeting in Bali, July 12 – 14, 2010. It is a civil society group supported by more than 70 members from 15 different major institutions working to save Sumatran tigers in the region.

The map should include West Papua as part on Indonesia. This is a very sensitive issue so that needs to be revised soonest.
