WHY THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST CAT DEPENDS ON ALL OF US
There are moments in conservation when history quietly changes direction. Not because another species
disappears overnight or headlines announce a dramatic rescue mission. More often, the most important
moments happen almost unnoticed - when decades of scientific knowledge, hard-earned field experience
and irreplaceable conservation work suddenly face an uncertain future. This is one of those moments.
For decades, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) helped build the Siberian Tiger Project into the world's
most important long-term research and conservation project for the Amur, or Siberian, tiger. Its scientists and
field teams created an extraordinary legacy of scientific and conservation knowledge in the Russian Far East.
A LEGACY WORTH PROTECTING
As the geopolitical landscape changed, however,
the ability of international organizations to continue
supporting conservation work in Russia became
increasingly complex. Faced with the possibility that
this important work and decades of accumulated
knowledge could be interrupted, the Banovich
Wildscapes Foundation made the decision to step
forward and assume stewardship of the Siberian
Tiger Project by supporting the local Russian NGO
Far East Fauna, which carries on the institutional
knowledge and personnel of the Project.
Today, BWF is committed to carrying this remarkable
legacy forward — preserving the scientific knowledge
developed over decades, supporting the experienced
people working on the ground, and ensuring that
critical research and conservation efforts for the
Siberian tiger, and the natural landscapes it depends
on, continue.
We are deeply grateful to WCS and the many
scientists, conservationists and supporters whose
work created the foundation upon which the project
stands today. Our role is not to replace that legacy,
but to protect it, build upon it and help carry it into
the future.
Because conservation cannot always choose the
circumstances in which it must operate. Sometimes,
when the path becomes most difficult, simply
ensuring that the work continues becomes one of
the most important acts of conservation.
