3.4 COST OF IMPLEMENTING WMP

The flow of the processes in implementing Wildlife Impact Study and WMP are described in
Chapter 1. Figure 2.3 offers a detailed flow of the WMP process and procedures, and two important
steps in this flow are;

i. preparing Terms of Agreement for the proposed mitigation measure to be implemented as
have been described in the WMP, and
ii. agreement of both parties (proponent and PERHILITAN) that within the will and capacity of
the proponent will implement the proposed mitigation measures stated in the WMP, while
PERHILITAN will monitor the process to ensure all the measures are effectively implemented.
Implementing mitigation measures as proposed in WMP is the responsibility of the proponent, and
the proponent is to bear the cost of implementing these mitigation measures. Detailed costs for
each of the measures proposed in the WMP need to be discussed with PERHILITAN. A direct
discussion with PERHILITAN is needed due to several reasons;
not all measures can be implemented by proponents due
i) to constraints by the local law (Wildlife Conservation Acts,
2010),

to ensure the safety of the animals and humans while
ii) implementing the measures, and

to ensure the effectiveness of the mitigation measures
iii)
implemented at the proposed project site.

From this discussion, PERHILITAN will advise the proponents accordingly, especially regarding the
implementation of the mitigation activities that are constrained by the laws (Wildlife Conservation
Acts 2010, Act 712). These measures can be grouped with examples of measures as follows (refer
to Section 3.4).
group of measures can be implemented only by
i) PERHILITAN, such as the enforcement of the law, and
management of wildlife-human conflicts,
group of measures can be implemented by proponents,
ii) such as any mitigation measures in a form of physical
structure, and
group of measures can be implemented by PERHILITAN
iii) and proponents, such as wildlife rescue operations and
awareness and education programmes.

It is PERHILITAN’s responsibility to ensure that theproposed mitigation measures are;
Commonly implemented,
i

Accepted by the community,
ii

Implementation accordingly within the capacity
iii and will of the proponent as agreed,

Effective and efficient,
iv

Low risk to the public and animal, and
v
Done within the scope and limit of the local
vi and international laws.

Thus, sincere, and transparent discussion is needed to ensure the success of the WMP.
