| Until the beginning of the 20th century, the South China tiger was distributed in many parts of southern China. In 1959 Mao Zedong, in the time of the Great Leap Forward, declared the tiger and other predators such as leopards and wolves to be pests and "enemies of the people". Becoming widely persecuted, the population of the South China Tiger fell from 4,000 to 200 by 1976. The Chinese government then reversed the classification of the tiger, banning hunting altogether in 1977, but this seems to have been too late. The South China Tiger has not been seen in the wild since the 1980s. Today the estimated population of the South Chinese subspecies comprises 20-30 individuals and is found only in the Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi und Zhejiang. Tigers still found in south-east China belong to the Indochinese Tiger subspecies. |

I'd like to meet:Tigerwoods... THERE MAY BE FEWER THAN 30 SOUTH CHINESE TIGERS LEFT IN THE WILD "Save China..s Tigers"- a UK, US and Hong Kong based charity founded in 2000 by Beijing born and bred Ms Li Quan, is the only charity in the world outside China with a mission to save the Chinese Tiger from extinction.The charity..s aim is to raise awareness of the plight of the Chinese tiger and to strive for its protection and preservation through public education, introduction and experimentation of advanced conservation models in China. We also aim to act as a liaison for all those organisations concerned with the conservation of China..s wildlife and habitat.Save China..s Tigers has taken on an ambitious project to reverse the fate of the South China Tiger from the border of extinction by taking them out of zoos, breeding them, let them regain their hunting abilities and reintroduce them back to China..s wild.We are drawing skills and experience from scientists from southern Africa who have worked successfully in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction, building these populations into viable entities so that they can be returned to their previous rangeland to complete the biomes over which they reigned.A Pilot Reserve in China will be established using African reserve management expertise, where indigenous Chinese wildlife will be reintroduced into rehabilitated indigenous habitat with the Chinese Tiger serving as the flagship species. Conservation efforts of the Chinese Tiger will be enhanced by local economic development as well as aspects of unique Chinese cultural heritage that will help to create a holistic eco-tourism experience.Please help us with an historic effort to prepare zoo born Chinese Tigers for life in the wild and then reinstate "ewilded" tigers into restored Chinese habitat.With your help we hope to reintroduce the first Tiger in 2008 to coincide with Beijing Olympics.
