On 29 September 2018, the foundation stone was laid for the Far Eastern Nature Park and the Amur Tiger Museum as part of the events timed to Tiger Day. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation -  Chief of the  Government Staff and Chair of the Amur Tiger Supervisory Board Konstantin Chuychenko, Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Gordeyev, Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East Alexander Kozlov and Acting Governor of the Primorye Terriroty Oleg Kozhemyako.

Under the plan, those tigers that cannot be returned to the wild for different reasons will be kept in the park. They will live in conditions that are as close as possible to their natural habitat. The park will also have open public spaces, a research cluster and educational venues.

According to Konstantin Chuychenko, the park has received the status of a priority development area and will occupy 16 hectares.

“The park will perform an educational function, primarily, on preserving the Amur tiger. We have recently opened a stationary complex in the village of Krasny Yar and placed a time capsule in the foundation of the building of the future post office and the monument to Dersu Uzala. This work is being done owing to all the people who are not indifferent,” said Konstantin Chuychenko.

Oleg Kozhemyako noted that the park will be a gem of Russky Island and a favourite recreation area for its residents and guests. “The establishment of this park is a new step towards preserving animals that cannot live in the wild. In three years, we will create the most comfortable conditions for them, and build an educational centre and a museum,” Oleg Kozhemyako said. The Amur Tiger Museum will be devoted to the study and conservation of the rare predator. Representatives of the Russian museum and international environmental community will be involved in creating the interactive exposition.

The Far Eastern Nature Park and the Amur Tiger Museum project is expected to be carried out in three years. The Far Eastern Nature Park and the Amur Tiger Museum on Russky Island.
