Can Siberian tigers survive in different places?

Siberian tigers have never really left the wild. In fact, recent studies show an increase in their numbers to nearly 600. Additional Info: The Siberian or Amur Tiger is considered ciritically endangered. Back in the 1940's they were facing the point of extinction, with only 40 tigers in the wild. They have made a remarkable come back! Thanks in part, to strict anti-poaching laws, and many other conservation practices put in place by the Russians, along with the help of other groups. The State Council of The People's Republic of China, issued a notice, making it against the law to use tiger bone for medicinal purposes, in 1993. They have, with the help of the Ministry of Public Health, tried to push companies to find alternatives to the long used tiger bone, for their medications. Even with a jump in poaching incidents in the 1990's, the population has held up surprisingly well. The population has been fairly steady for the last decade and with the new studies and further projects to protect their habitat and re-enforce poaching laws there is hope it may expand. There are now, at last count 431 to 529 indivduals in the wild, and a new count is under way now, along with several other new programs. For more information please see the sites listed below.
