Nature Story: A giant reserve will be built in China to save the Amur tigers

You won't believe how big this tiger reserve is planned to be!

Chinese authorities announced their decision to build a giant reserve for leopards and tigers in the north-east of the country. These measures are taken to save the two species of feline that are on the brink of extinction - the Amur leopard and the Amur tiger.

The park will be located in the territory of two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang and will become a part of the new system of national parks in China. Its area will be about 14.5 thousand square kilometers, which is 60% more than the Yellowstone National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A full-scale plan will be submitted in 2020.

Now China could also stop buying ivory to save elephants. ChiChiE.

Perhaps to harvest the animals' body parts for its own Medicine' which is nothing moe than 'Pseudo Science'.Who's going to check how the markets aka Medicine/Apothekary will be getting their inventory wherever and whenever they want?

This would be so wonderful...everyone should be doing as much as they can to save those animals that are close to extinction.

As a member of WWF for many years I am very pleased to learn about this effort and hope that it comes to fruition. I have also been involved with my local zoo for many years and we have an Amur tiger who is indeed a majestic creature. Our zoo participates in the Species Survival program for a number of animals.
