A new phase of the resettlement of the Far Eastern tigers has begun in Primorye Scientists in the Primorsky territory have begun field work for the next phase of the resettlement of the Far Eastern tigers from the land of the Tiger National Park to the Ussuri Nature Reserve. In the spring of 2023 and at the end of 2025, the new group was renewed with six tigers, two more arrived on their own. Camera traps recorded the appearance of two pairs, the first such sightings in this part of the historic range in 50 years. "The first pairs of tigers in new territories is an encouraging result. We hope that further sightings will confirm the appearance of kittens," said Elena Gangalo, ANO's Director General for Far Eastern Tigers. The appearance of tigers in the Ossory reserve area without the help of people suggests that predators can cross the path between territories on their own. However, resettlement is complicated by the federal road Vladivostok - Khabarovsk, the Trans-Siberian railway and the developed areas of the Razdolnya river valley. Scientists have confirmed that leopards and tigers cross the Borisovo-Barnovsky crossing area. Here it is proposed to create a protective area of ​​50.4 thousand dunams within the boundaries of the designed ecological corridor. The appeal was sent to the Primorye Forestry Office. "The natural exchange of individuals is necessary to maintain genetic diversity. Protecting the corridor will help to maintain the connection with the "Land of the Tiger", - said the director of the budgetary institution of the federal state "Land of the Tiger" Victor Bardiuk. The Far Eastern tiger is the largest and rarest predatory cat on Earth, listed in the Red Book. He lives in southwest Primorye and a small area of ​​China. According to the results of the first joint census between Russia and China, more than 220 individuals were counted in the cross-border reserve "Land of the Big Cats".
