BEIJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — China is among countries working to restore tiger populations in the wild, according to the Manchurian (Amur) Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard National Park in northeast China.
Efforts over the past eight years since the park's trial operation began in 2017 have led to the stabilization and restoration of wild Manchurian tiger and Far Eastern leopard populations, with about 70 tigers and 80 leopards currently living in the park, said Duan Zhaogan, head of the park, speaking at an event to mark International Tiger Day recently.
“With regard to the Manchurian tiger population, all the targets for the restoration of the population of these predators, formulated at the Tiger Summit in 2010, have already been exceeded,” he noted, calling this “an important achievement” of China in the formation of an eco-culture and “China’s contribution” to global efforts to preserve biodiversity.
Measures to protect endangered species have been significantly strengthened in China in recent years. The construction of a reserve system based on the national park has created favorable conditions for the existence and reproduction of Manchurian tigers in the wild. Within the national park, a system of integrated space, aviation and ground monitoring has been effectively established, regular patrols are also carried out here to protect the territory from poachers, and work is underway to ensure the interconnectedness of tiger and leopard habitats.
In addition, the procedure and standards for rescue, the system of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the most common diseases are being improved, a germplasm bank has been created, and poaching of tigers, smuggling and illegal trade in products made from these rare animals are being strictly intercepted.
As it became known, in addition to China, the restoration of tiger populations in the wild is underway in Bhutan, India, Nepal, Russia and Thailand. However, in most regions of Southeast Asia, the opposite situation is observed; in the last 20 years, tigers have disappeared forever in three more countries. -0-
