He said that "the long-term project to restore the group of tigers in the Jewish Autonomous Region can be considered an achievement."
Aramilev said that “tigers released over the past seven years, with rare exceptions in the wild, regularly bring offspring - these are tigers Svetlaya, Lazovka, Philip and Cinderella.”
“Now there are about 20 tigers in the Jewish Autonomous Region, although only one came here 7-8 years ago.
We managed to change the situation with releases and the correct security system, ”he said.
According to him, "this is a unique achievement - no one else in the world has succeeded like that."
“Our scientists, employees of protected areas, specialists of state and public organizations have a unique experience of training and releasing predators into the wild in such a way that they do not harm themselves and others,” Aramilev added.
In October, the regional Ministry of Natural Resources reported that the body of an Amur tiger had been found in the Khabarovsk Territory.
