On 27 November 2014, an international workshop on the conservation of the Amur tiger concluded in Vladivostok. The conference, Population Range, Migration and Other Movement of Wild Animals, was organised with support from the Amur Tiger Centre.

According to the participating scientists, this workshop could later become a popular platform to discuss important issues on various land animals.

“There is an acute lack of platforms at which experts on terrestrial animals can exchange their experience and share ideas,” said Sergei Aramilev, Deputy General Director of the Amur Tiger Centre and Director of its Primorye branch. “The location selected for this year’s event must have influenced the participants, because as many as 12 reports focused on the Amur Tiger and related ecosystem elements were made.”

Once the Amur Tiger inventory is completed, the centre plans to organise a major conference entirely devoted to the study and conservation of endangered felines.

The 25-27 November conference was organised by the Pacific Geographical Institute and the Institute of Biology and Soil Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Far Eastern Branch, the Amur Tiger autonomous NGO and other nature conservation organisations, and brought together over 50 scientists from Russia, South Korea and Japan.
