The Amur tiger clings to survival in the far eastern reaches of Russia – your support is helping to secure the future of this majestic predator.
DSWF jointly funds a tiger protection programme, run by local Russian NGO The Phoenix Fund. Regular anti-poaching and habitat protection patrols are carried out to ensure the protection of wild populations and the forests call home
DSWF’s funding has been vital in helped a local teacher to engage with hundreds of local children, with special eco lessons, exhibitions, clean-up sessions and a major art competition. It’s hoped this will increase awareness of the importance of nature conservation and foster positive attitudes towards tigers in the younger generation.
Your financial support also helps fund a rescue and release centre for wild tigers. In May, following a period of rehabilitation, two rescued cubs, Saikhan and Lazovka, were fitted with GPS collars and successfully returned to the wild. This process will provide invaluable data on tigers ranges and behavioral studies.
It’s thought there is now a stable population of 540 Amur tigers, thanks to the tireless work of DSWF and ground based partners.
This is a fantastic success story and thanks in part to your on-going commitment to saving wild tigers. Thank you!
Look out for our future updates on how YOUR donations are helping to save this endangered species.
