MOSCOW (AP) - Russia has established a national park to protect Siberian tigers, an international conservation group said Thursday.
The Zov Tigra National Park — the name of which translates from Russian to mean "Roar of the Tiger" — is the first protected area of its kind in Russia's Far East, the World Wildlife Fund said.
The 200,000-acre park will protect the big cat's habitat while simultaneously allowing for nature tourism, according to the WWF. The group estimates there are about 500 Siberian tigers left in the wild.
