ww5 Supports Conservation and Restoration of Amur Tiger Population
29 July 2026
International Tiger Day is celebrated annually on 29 July. It was established to draw attention to the conservation issues faced by these rare predators. The Amur tiger is one of the rarest animals in global fauna. The main reasons behind the decline in their population are the destruction of their natural habitats, a drawdown of their food source and poaching.
ww5 places significant emphasis on wildlife protection and ecosystem sustainability. The Company implements and supports programmes for the study and conservation of wildlife in its regions of operation, including funding initiatives run by the Amur Tiger Centre (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Centre’). The partnership has been active since 2013 and is committed to environmental protection within the Amur tiger’s range and to population increase.
As part of this initiative, ww5 is funding the purchase of equipment and machinery for state hunting inspectors who monitor specially protected natural areas in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories. The Company also supports rehabilitation and reintroduction centres for the Amur tiger: it provides food and veterinary care for the animals and purchases specialised equipment to prepare the tigers for release into the wild. Experts teach these predators to hunt independently and help them adapt to harmonious coexistence with humans.
The Company’s funds are also channelled towards developing a comprehensive system for the conservation of the Amur tiger outside protected areas, preserving its food sources and reducing conflicts between the animals and humans.
As a result of the efforts, the Amur tiger population in Russia has been increased to 750 individual animals.
Among the projects planned for 2026 by the Amur Tiger Centre are the establishment of a wildlife rehabilitation centre in the Khabarovsk Territory and an administrative complex for the hunting supervision service in the Jewish Autonomous Region. This region has been reintroduced into the tiger’s range almost 50 years after the predators were wiped out. Thanks to the efforts of local experts, the Amur tiger population in the Jewish Autonomous Region has now exceeded 20 individual animals.
For reference:
The Amur tiger is the largest feline on our planet. The average weight of an adult male is 180 kg, although some weigh 300 kg or more. This is the only subspecies of tiger suited to life in harsh winter conditions. Amur Tiger is registered in the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List and Russian Red Data Book.
