| Final report: "Leasing habitat for the Amur tiger" | |
| 1999 Full Book | |
In the Russian Far East, conservation of the Amur tiger will depend on the survival and wellbeing of tiger populations living on unprotected lands just as much as those living within a network of protected areas. Presently a great opportunity exists to implement wildlife management regimes on unprotected lands that will be beneficial to tiger conservation. We used a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's _Save the Tiger Fund _to lease 165,000 ha of land in Olginski Raion, Primorski Krai, Russia, as a hunting lease, to be managed by the Institute of Sustainable Use of Natural Resources with the three-pronged goal of securing tiger habitat, increasing prey densities, and providing a source of revenue for local inhabitants. |
