WWF SAYS CEDAR CONSERVATION IMPERATIVE TO AMUR TIGER SURVIVAL
WWF Russia emphasizes link between saving forests and the Amur tiger
WWF Russia says the key to saving the rare Amur tiger is the conservation of Russian cedar pine forests.
Igor Chestin, head of WWF Russia, said that his organisation is encouraging the Russian government to reintroduce a law banning the cutting of the cedar forest in the Russian Far East
“No cedar – no tiger. The habitat of this animal coincides with those areas where we find the cedar,” said Chestin.
Previously, Russia did have a law that governed the harvest of the cedar forests, but it was revoked in 2007.
Widely known as Siberian tigers, there are only about 500 Amur tigers left living in the wild in Russia.
At 10 Amur tigers have been illegally killed since 2006. However, Russia is the only country that has seen a stabilization of its tiger population in the 21st Century.
