the accelerated cutting of forests and poaching. The Chinese pay hundreds of thousands
of dollars for a tiger corpse from which they use any part of their body for traditional
Chinese medicine recipes. The Russian researchers, in collaboration with the American
ones, said that between 2007 and 2007 there were between 480 and 520 copies living in
