There were only 20-30 Amur tigers left in the world, by the middle of the 20th century. They almost disappeared due to poaching and deforestation. Now the population of these majestic cats is making a comeback. Specially protected natural areas have been created for them in the Far East. In China, killing a tiger can bring five to ten years in prison and a hefty fine. The country has created a huge national park on the border with Russia. A few dozen of these mighty predators live there. This Global Tiger Day, we celebrate this remarkable species and their preservation. Learn more about these striped felines in our video, and the documentary ’In a Siberian Tiger’s Footsteps’ (2020). #animals FOLLOW News&Docfilms Channel Источник: RT Documentary
