Supporting ZSL’s work in the Russian Far East. With only about 30 Amur leopards and 400 Amur tigers left in the wild, these are two of the most endangered big cats on earth. ZSL is working in Lazovsky National Park to protect and monitor the tigers there, to investigate the possibility of reintroducing Amur leopards to the park and to support the career of team member and wildlife vet, Misha Goncharuk.

Supporting the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (ALTA) Anti poaching teams. ALTA partner the Phoenix Fund has set up two teams in Amur Leopard habitat to tackle the poaching of this most endangered large cat on earth. So far the teams have drawn up more than 1000 citations including 500 for violations of hunting regulations, confiscated more than 400 firearms and initiated nearly 40 criminal proceedings. With a total population of only 30-35 Amur leopards existing in the wild, these teams make an invaluable contribution to the survival of the species.
