Ms. Li Quan, a founding director of CTR who initiated the
world’s first Tiger Rewilding project in 2001, spoke on the "Role of Tiger
Rewilding & Reintroduction in Supplementing Wild Tiger Populations" at
the Wild 10 Congress in Salamanca, Spain on Oct 6 to an enthusiastic reception,
drawing on her experience of more than ten years of successful South China
Tiger rewilding and breeding. Her presentation can be found here:
The focus of the Wild 10 Congress is “Rewilding Europe”.
Over 900 delegates, ranging from government representatives to wildlife and
nature conservation organizations etc from over 50 countries around the world
attended the congress. Ms. Quan’s experiment, though initially controversial,
has now been accepted as a fully viable (and necessary) alternative to
rebuilding wild tiger populations. Rewilding is now being adopted by many
conservation initiatives as a viable model to restore wildlife populations as
well as their habitat.
