Siberian Tigers Frequently Enter Villages, Perhaps to Borrow Food and Roads? | CBCGDF Recommends to Restore Natural Corridors As Soon As Possible

Recently, news of wild Siberian tigers entering villages in Qitaihe City, Ning'an County and other places in Heilongjiang Province has frequently appeared on the Internet. On November 18, a tiger injured a person again in Boli County, Qitaihe City.

 


According to comprehensive analysis of media reports, the places where wild Siberian tigers are found are mainly concentrated in Zhangguangcai Ridge, Wanda Mountain and Laoye Ridge, the remnants of Changbai Mountain. In the wild, especially in winter, people and tigers frequently meet. On the one hand, it shows that the local ecological environment protection has improved and the natural habitat of wild Siberian tigers has been well restored; on the other hand, it also shows that the number of wild Siberian tigers is steadily increasing, and the existing habitat can no longer meet their needs of survival. Wild Siberian tigers seem to be exploring to expand their territory.

 


Do wild Siberian tigers enter the village to fill their stomachs? Not entirely. From the video, we can see this Siberian tiger that entered the village seems to be looking for a way out. The outline of the distant mountains in the video can confirm this. From the perspective of the Siberian tiger, it is on its way out of this mountain to another hillside, passing by a village where humans live.

 

The correct approach should be to "build bridges and pave roads" for them! It is recommended to make efforts in ecological restoration and reserve green channels for the migration of wild animals, at least large beasts that are key protected. For example, returning farmland to forests and planting trees at the junction of the three major mountain ranges in Heilongjiang Province will form a green belt to protect the migration of wild animals, reduce or avoid encounters between humans and wild animals, and prevent incidents of wild animals attacking humans.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
