The pride males turn against each other, an inexperienced mum puts her new born cubs in mortal danger, a rival group of lions challenge the pride for its territory and, when lightning strikes, fires burn day and night.

The Value of Tourism in Conservation

An avid photographer himself, Sam also started taking pictures, explaining to myself and the other guests on the vehicle about the behaviour of giraffe. Sam had just finished explaining that giraffe do not have horns but ‘ossicones’ when he abruptly paused in his speech; he requested his binoculars (which a guest had borrowed), focused them and declared that this giraffe was in fact the survivor of a botched poaching effort.

Video: Amur tiger released in Russia 2015

A three year old Amur tiger has been successfully captured, collared and released into a mountainous region in the Russian Far East. The young male was identified as a ‘conflict tiger’ in a prey depleted area but rather than confining him to a life of captivity, the Russian government opted to give him a second chance.
The tiger, named “Uporny” – the Russian word for stubborn – had been captured around Khabarovsky province where he had been eating dogs, bringing him into potential conflict with humans. The Government Forest Department (Ministry of Natural Resource of Khabarovsky Province) organised and implemented the trans-location operation with the assistance of WWF and the Amur Tiger Center. Uporny was taken to the Utyos Rehabilitation Center, the largest wild animal rehabilitation center in the Russian Far East. Here he was given a general health check, including an inspection of his teeth. He was vaccinated for common diseases and also fed prey to assess his hunting abilities and suitability for release into the wild.
