What is Already being Done, and Where You can Help
In 1992, the Siberian Tiger Project was founded, with the aim of providing a comprehensive picture of the ecology of the Amur tiger and the role of tigers in the Russian Far East through scientific studies. By capturing and outfitting tigers with radio collars, biologists are receiving data about everything siberian tiger. With the now, acquired data, it will hopefully contribute toward minimizing poaching and even make it disappear. The Siberian Tiger Project has been productive in increasing local capacity to address human-tiger conflict with a Tiger Response Team, part of the Russian government’s Inspection Tiger, which responds to all tiger-human conflicts; by continuing to enhance the large database on tiger ecology and conservation with the goal of creating a comprehensive Siberian tiger conservation plan. In the August 2010, China and Russia agreed to enhance conservation and cooperation in protected areas. China has undertaken a series of public awareness campaigns including celebration of the first Global Tiger Day in July 2010, and China's Amur Tiger Culture Festival in August 2010.
The Amur Tiger is a popular zoo exhibit. The Siberian tiger is bred under the auspices of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), in a project based on 83 tigers captured in the wild. Today, approximately 160 Siberian tigers participate in the SSP, which makes it the most extensively bred tiger subspecies within the program. Developed in 1982, the Species Survival Plan for the Siberian tiger is the longest running program for a tiger subspecies. The breeding program for the Siberian tiger has actually been used as a good example when new programs have been designed to save other animal species from extinction. The SSP has been occasionally bee able to release juveniles back into the wild, these tigers haver been under extreme supervision and care but have since done fine by them selves. The World Wildlife Found (WWF) is a foundation that hires conservation experts and biologists to help and protect endangered species, they are an organization that runs on donations, that they call adopting a species. When you adopt a species you receive gifts and certificates depending on how much you donate. This money goes to protecting endangered species. One of WWF's flagship species is the Tiger, more specifically the Siberian tiger. To help save Siberian tiger follow this link to WWF's website to adopt a tiger.
