Tigers Return to Central Asia
Tigers will again roam Central Asia, 40 years after the Caspian Tiger became extinct.
The World Wildlife Fund announced on Thursday that it had secured the agreement of Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic the size of Western Europe, to reintroduce Amur Tigers from the Russian Far East.
A recent study demonstrated that Amur tigers are genetically very close to the extinct Caspian Tiger, and the Ily River delta, just south ofKazakhstan’s Balkhash Lake, has been selected as an ideal habitat for reintroduction.
The Caspian Tiger once populated a swathe of Eurasia stretching from eastern Turkey to north-west China, but died out forty years ago due to habitat destruction and hunting. No tiger has been recorded in the Ily River Delta since 1948.
“This will be the first time that the tiger has returned to an area where it’s become completely extinct,” said Olga Pereladova, the head of WWF in Kazakhstan. “The tiger is a flagship species on top of the ecosystem, and to be able to introduce the tiger, we need to restore all the other species which used to be there.”
The programme requires Kazakhstan to establish its first national park across 400,000 hectares of the Ily River basin, and try to build up a sufficient population of prey species such as wild boar and deer before tigers to be reintroduced in five to ten years’ time.
Tigers have been successfully reintroduced in parts of India where they’ve become extinct. WWF has also looked into reintroducing tigers to the Amu Darya river basin in neighbouring Uzbekistan.
