Amur Tiger Centre presents annual report

27 January 2017

The Amur Tiger Centre has published a report on its performance in 2016. It includes the information about the centre and general facts about the Amur tiger population, as well as the centre’s large projects implemented under the motto “Saving Russian Heritage Together.” These projects include support for the Primorye Territory Department of Hunting Supervision and the Centre for the Rehabilitation and Reintroduction of Tigers and Other Rare Animals, the organisation of events to mark the annual Tiger Day in Vladivostok, and the work with the Tiger student team.

 

The introduction by Konstantin Chuichenko, chairman of the Amur Tiger Centre Supervisory Council, reads, in part: “We are confident that it is necessary not only to achieve results, but also to maintain and improve upon them. Our main goals have not changed: to increase the Amur tiger population to 700 animals by 2022 and promote the conflict-free coexistence of tigers and people.”
