There are reports of Siberian tigers appearing in Shuangyashan, Heilongjiang every so often, and local residents and police have become accustomed to it. People can live their lives how they want, but when they go into the mountains, they will bring electronic firecrackers in case of emergencies, and they will also bring hunting dogs to keep company with other people. The police patrol and deploy designated police officers in each village, and have conducted many police patrols. What to do if you encounter a tiger while acting.
Although it is a bit scary for the public, it does show that Raohe County's ecological protection is very good. Without rich natural resources and ecological environment, Siberian tigers would not always appear.
This Siberian tiger came from across the border. Raohe County is located in the northeastern border of Heilongjiang Province, the middle and lower reaches of the Ussuri River and faces Russia across the river, so this Siberian tiger obviously came from Russia.
my country's Siberian tiger protection is very strong and has been quite effective. What about the tiger protection situation in Russia next door?
Siberian tigers in Russia
In the 1940s, poaching drove Siberian tigers to the brink of extinction, with only 40 left in the wild. At that time, the Soviet Union became the first country in the world to grant comprehensive protection to the Siberian tiger. Today, there are an estimated 450 Siberian tigers in the wild in Russia.
Siberian tigers have the largest habitat of any tiger subspecies in Russia, but low prey densities mean they must search for food over large areas. However, illegal loggers destroy precious woods such as oak, ash, elm and linden, reducing the number of pine nuts and acorns, resulting in a decrease in prey for Siberian tigers. Fortunately, in 2013, Russia’s forest department classified illegal logging as a serious crime.
Even now, poachers still do not let go of Siberian tigers. Therefore, Russia and my country have conducted in-depth cooperation in monitoring tiger populations, strengthening anti-poaching operations, improving intelligence and law enforcement levels, eliminating illegal logging, protecting habitats, increasing prey numbers, and raising public awareness, effectively curbing poaching. the action of the person.
In July 2013, President Putin signed a new law imposing tougher penalties for wildlife crimes, including poaching, illegal trade, transporting or storing wildlife. In addition, Putin also issued a list of special orders, including changes to hunting and law enforcement regulations. These measures are of great significance to the protection of the Siberian tiger.
In addition, the government of Khabarovsky Province in Russia has created three new ecological corridors for tigers to move between protected areas in the region. The three corridors cover more than 255,000 acres of forest and will help tigers move into new areas. Territory, which is crucial to their population growth.
WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Russia’s Siberian Tiger Project will also study the Siberian tiger’s social structure, land use patterns, eating habits, reproduction, mortality, and relationships with other species, including humans.
In these various efforts, IUCN changed the protection status of the Siberian tiger from critically endangered to endangered.
Postscript
In August 2017, the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Management Bureau was established. On September 30, 2021, the State Council approved the establishment of the Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park, forming a cross-border habitat with the Russian Leopard Land National Park. In our country, the Tiger and Leopard Park covers a total area of 14,600 square kilometers, protecting more than 90% of the habitat of Northeastern tigers and leopards.
Thanks to the efforts of our country and Russia, the Siberian tiger population has finally recovered slowly. But not all tiger subspecies can receive such treatment. Tigers in Southeast Asia can be said to be in dire straits. I hope they can receive the love they deserve as soon as possible.
