“Award-winning film about the science and conservation of the last remaining wild Amur Tigers left on earth, filmed on location in the remote wilderness of coastal Siberia”

This remarkable film follows the story of a mature female Siberian tiger called Katia and her one-year-old cub.
Their travels introduce us to a remote part of Russia and to their conflict with their only natural enemy: Man.

The Amur, or Siberian, Tiger once roamed from Eastern Russia to South Korea, but poaching and habitat destruction means there are only a few hundred Siberian tigers left.

Through Katia and her cub, we journey through the Sikhote Alin Biosphere Reserve, lying at the heart of Siberian tiger country. It is the largest wildlife sanctuary in the Russian Far East, and a critical breeding ground for the last remaining wild Siberian tigers.

The harsh climate of the Taiga and elusive nature of the tiger have left many questions about its life unanswered. Now, John and Linda, two American scientists from the Hornocker Wildlife Institute, and their Russian colleagues track and study these magnificent animals, as part of the Siberian Tiger Project.

This documentary is a fascinating depiction of how striving to understand the tiger and human help have increased its number, and may ultimately save this species from extinction.

This DVD is accompanied by a beautifully illustrated 24-page hardback reference book. Watch the close-up wildlife film and at the same time read the book to learn about habitats, diet, life cycle and more. The book is packed with intriguing facts, illustrations, photography and a 'Test your knowledge' quiz.
