Russia hosts one of the hardiest tigers to see. However, there are now around 500 Amur tigers roaming the remote far east of Russia, up from less than 40 in the 1940s, this population has also had great gains. Unfortunately there is little habitat for this population to grow much more, however recent genetic analysis has shown that the Amur tiger and the Caspian tiger (which lived in the far west of Russia, as well as various other countries around here like Turkey) is not distinct enough to be a separate subspecies. As such, should space be found here, perhaps Amur tigers should be translocated west to repopulate these long empty tiger ranges.

The Amur tiger lives in the far east of Russia, and across the border in china. As little as 15 years ago, the number of Amur tigers living within China...
The Caspian tiger once lived in 12 countries, from the west in Turkey, to the east in central Asia. Seemingly, across this range, they did not have consistent populations but...
Back in the last year of the tiger, the tiger range countries came together and aimed to double the number of tigers in the 12 years until the next year...
If is easy to think that we should not be saving subspecies, but instead investing money in conserving other animals that are still threatened.
Unfortunately, this is the wrong way...
Big cats have a range of colours that they can be found in. It is certainly true that their standard colour is more common, but in different parts of their...
Declared extinct in 2003, recent genetic analysis shows that the Caspian and Amur tiger are so similar that they cannot be declared as sub species. As such, if the Amur...
China is a country which has done very poorly when it comes to the tiger. Having a great deal of respect for the tiger - with it woven throughout its...
It is thought that there is currently about 10,000 big cats in private ownership, often in poor conditions and of no conservation benefit. While as much as 5000 are tigers...
If you live in the UK, there is relatively little wildlife to watch (when compared to somewhere like South Africa), which is why zoos are often such popular places.
