On September 11, the youth expedition sponsored by the WWF, Tiger's Path, sets out in the Primorye Territory. The participants are young people between the ages of 18 and 24, as well as journalists and World Wild Fund (WWF) members from Russia and Germany. Expedition members will have a good opportunity to learn about the history of the preservation of Amur tigers in Russia's Far East, the methods used to monitor the condition of the population, the threats to the population and the measures in place to preserve it. They will attend a seminar to discuss the research programme for Amur tigers of the Russian Academy of Science, which has been promoted by Vladimir Putin. Expedition organisers hope that its members will join the international youth movement Tiger Envoys.

The expedition's field camp will be set up on the grounds of the Orlinoye hunting estate in the Shkotovka District of the Primorye Territory, and all expedition routes will begin from here. The staff of the hunting estate is working on new methods to increase the population of hoofed animals, which are the main food source for Amur tigers.

Expedition members will learn how to install a camera trap for tigers, how to work the sodic soil and set feeding grounds. They will also assist the Orlinoye staff with preparing winter stocks of artichoke, the favourite food of wild boars, and plant cedars, which will help improve the tigers' food supply. They will also go hiking at the Ussuri nature reserve and the hunting estate Tigrovoye and take a flight on a Mi-8 helicopter to check whether there are any wildfires or illegal logging on the Shkotovo plateau.

On September 26, expedition members from Germany will go to Vladivostok to take part in Tiger Day celebrations.
