The population in China decreased from 120 in mid 1970's to less than 20 now. Hengdaohezi Felidae BreedingCenter was established in Heilongjiang province in 1986. The Sibcrian tigers were fed artiticially and were trained to reintroduce primarily. The population increased from eight to scventy by hard work for about ten years. In the meantime, the researchers have done much research work on physiology, biochcmistry, brecding, behavior, disease prevention and so on,they have got much valuable infonnation of tigcr population. In January, 1996, 'Siberian Tiger Park' was built on the eastside of The Sun Island in Harbin. The China's unique and the world's largest Siberian Tiger groups are being domesticatedhere. Because of the change of the living condition, the focal point of th1c tiger pop[llatiol1 l11al1ageme1lt is now to reintroducethe tigers. So, the tigers are being trained to lcarn how to prey in the wild, how to adapt the bad nature environment and increase the ability of disease prevention. Tourists can cnter the purk by tour bus or by their own car. The income of the parktickets can be used to build the park and dcvclop the tiger population.
