The Phoenix Fund intends to provide anti-poaching protection for the rarest cat on earth - the Amur leopard. In 2010, when we started our conservation project, there were only 30-40 of these cats left in the wild. Combined efforts of donors, law-enforcement rangers and NGOs resulted in colossal population growth - monitoring conducted in 2019-2020 showed that the number of these big cats exceeded 100! We would like to continue this effort and make sure Amur leopards will have a safe habitat. Disbursement suspension in Russia and Belarus: null

We will educate 15000 children to co-exist peacefully with the tigers. 550 Amur tigers are left in the wild living side by side with villagers who are involved in poaching. These kinds of "economic activity" formed during many decades of weak legislation, corruption, low income of the local population. Through ecological education children learn the causes of environmental problems, participate in their solution, consciously form lifestyle, sometimes different from the life of their parents.

The Amur tiger is one of the rarest species of animals in the world pushed to the brink of extinction by habitat destruction, poaching and ever scarcer game. The project will ensure efficient protection of the Amur tigers in core breeding areas. Rangers will conduct regular patrols in key tiger source sites - national parks and nature reserves of Primorsky and Khabarovsky provinces - using law enforcement monitoring program SMART.
