Tiger alarm in Russia: Madeads terrorize city dwellers!

The world's worldwide stocks are tense, just 500 animals are still considered to be alive and fight for survival in Russia, North Korea and China. Around 508 Amur-Tiger currently live in Russia, most of which can be found in the Far East of the country, as reported. While successful protective measures are implemented in countries such as India, where over 3,265 tigers are located, the Siberian tiger threatens a critical future.

protective measures and challenges

The dramatic declines of the tiger population are a result of human activities such as habitat destruction and poaching. In addition to these threats, contact between tigers and humans also ensures numerous conflicts - a problem that can be observed in both Nachodka and in many other regions worldwide. The situation in Indonesia is particularly worrying, where fewer than 350 Sumatra tiger exist and the habitats are very threatened by palm oil plantations.

In order to stop the remaining tiger loss, comprehensive measures are necessary. This includes the establishment of protected areas and the use of modern technologies to monitor animals. In some countries, local communities are also actively involved in protecting the tigers in order to increase acceptance and support for the preservation measures. In view of the worrying situation in Nachodka, it remains to be hoped that the responsible authorities will find situational solutions before further threatening incidents occur.
