The BBC had a story about how Russia is dealing with the conflict of how to save the endangered Amur Tiger or Siberian Tiger while protecting rural villages and their animals from the tigers. Tigers, especially injured ones (often injured by poachers or traps), will go into villages looking for food as they may not be healthy enough to hunt. The story focuses on Tiger Response teams. The teams assess risk in villages where the tigers have appeared or have mauled other animals. They go out to the villages to either scare the tiger away or relocate it.
