There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
As to the future of the Amur tiger. I have no doubt whatsoever about the goals set in the Amur tiger department. I also have no doubts about the quality and attitude of the researchers and rangers. The Amur tiger has the best chance of all subspecies.
The problem is professional poachers. Every undetected raid will result in hundreds of dead animals, including Amur tigers. They don't care, that is. The Russians have the means to send a very clear message. Same for the Chinese.
