Despite the sightings of endangered Amur tigers and leopards in China, this study identifies human disturbances and cattle grazing as key hurdles of the species’ expansion into available suitable habitats, ultimately improving their conservation status. Monitoring an area over 6000 square kilometers in North Eastern China with nearly 400 camera stations, the researcher observed a minimum of 26 tigers and 42 leopards. However, these sightings were primarily limited to a narrow region bordering Russia. To help expand the presence of these animals, the authors propose a “Tiger and Leopard Resettlement Program” that brings together multiple stakeholders, including the government, local communities, and researchers.
