Abstract

The article offers information on the animal conservation management such as the case of Sumatran tigers in Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP), Indonesia. It says that using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) by integrating habitat quality, cost of action, and extinction probability to determine the need of an allocation can solve and avoid the loss of subpopulation. It also discusses the results on several topics including state-dependent optimization, simulation, and case study.
