The book by Yuri Dunishenko and Sergei Aramilev, The Amur Tiger: The Uncrowned Lord of the Taiga, published by the Amur Tiger Center, is intended to acquaint a wide range of readers with the Amur tiger and the peculiarities of its life, as well as with the efforts that are being made to preserve it in the wild. The book was written by people who have been dealing with "tiger problems" for several years, and immerses the reader in the world of the Amur tiger and everything that surrounds it, telling about a rare predator in a simple but scientifically accurate language.

The book acquaints the reader with an amazing rare predator that lives on the territory of Russia. The reader will find in it information about where and how the tiger lives, which provides this representative of the southern fauna with the success of survival in the harsh Russian winter and how he found himself in such conditions. Much attention is paid to the disclosure of the way of life of the "uncrowned lord of the taiga", his relationship with other animals, and, of course, man.

The book also reveals the measures taken by the state and caring organizations to preserve the tiger in Russia, to ensure its conflict-free and harmonious coexistence with people. The book was illustrated by the best pictures taken by professional photographers and automatic cameras, as well as drawings by the illustrator Diana Makarova.

“This book was conceived with the aim of telling people about a unique animal, which, without a doubt, the Amur tiger is, without embellishment, based on objective information. I wanted to "arm" those who are engaged in conservation or "sympathize" with these activities with knowledge, and to prove to opponents who question the need to preserve the tiger population that we simply have no other way. Whether it succeeded or not - people will appreciate it and time will tell, ”says Yuri Dunishenko, author of the book The Amur Tiger: The Uncrowned Lord of the Taiga.

The language of the presentation of the material chosen by the authors is distinguished by simplicity and frankness, replete with facts from many years of observations of the predator and personal experience, but at the same time, scientifically accurate and reliable.
According to Sergey Aramilev, General Director of the Amur Tiger Center, co-author of the book, the publication was conceived with the aim of creating a work where it is accessible and interesting, but at the same time accurately and authentically, all relevant information about the Amur tiger, as well as best practices to preserve the population of a rare predator in Russia.

“Whether it succeeded is not for us to judge, it is the personal right of each individual reader. For me personally, working on this book in a team with Yuri Mifodievich Dunishenko is a serious school, thanks to which I have become more professional, " notes Sergey Aramilev. - Yuri Mifodievich is a “field worker” since birth, and even now, at an already venerable age, he prefers to spend his free time in the forest. He is the custodian of a huge amount of unique knowledge, which he always shares in personal meetings, but until recently this extremely valuable information was available only to a narrow circle of Yuri Mifodievich's listeners. Now, with the release of the book, the opportunity to become a listener of his lecture on the tiger, without visiting Khabarovsk or Vladivostok, has opened up for everyone who is interested. Despite the fact that Yuri Mifodievich is already an accomplished writer, he did not have a separate full-fledged book about the Amur tiger. Now there is, and that's great. It is important that the book contains not only information about the tigers living in the Khabarovsk Territory, where Yuri Mifodievich lives and works, but also about tigers from Primorye, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Amur Region, which they were allowed to tell me about. The main idea of the book is to show that the tiger is worthy to live on our Planet, and its "home" - the south of the Far East - is worthy of seeing it at least once, and maybe even staying here ”.

The scientific editor of the book, Doctor of Biological Sciences, leading researcher at the Theriology Laboratory of the Federal Research Center of Biodiversity of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Tiunov notes that one of the key advantages of the book is "a competent synthesis of well-known and little-known facts about the Amur tiger."

“In addition to the fact that this book is superbly written and will be interesting, and, most importantly, understandable for both an adult and a schoolchild, it contains a lot of very interesting information about the tiger, previously known, for the most part, to people who study the tiger and others large cats. Undoubtedly, this work will have a positive impact on the popularization of the image of the tiger and the cause of nature conservation, for which many thanks to the authors, " said Mikhail Tiunov.

The presentation of the book with the participation of the authors is planned in Vladivostok at the end of 2020 - beginning of 2021, the date and time will be announced later, taking into account the development of the situation with the pandemic.
