Zee News - Siberian tigers return to northeast China

Zee News - Siberian tigers return to northeast China

"Tigers are returning because of a ban on the hunting of their prey -- such as deer and wild boar -- and because the predator`s natural habitat is being better protected, according to Dermot O`Gorman, the WWF China representative.

"If we continue to build on this work, we will continue to see tigers return and we might see a success story in northeast China," O`Gorman told Kyodo News, adding that a tiger was caught on camera in the region just a few weeks ago."
