Amazing People - Li Quan - Saving the South Chinese Tiger
Li Quan and her husband have spent millions in the creation of a private reserve to save the South Chinese Tiger. Li has founded “Save China’s Tigers”. Her reserve is based in South Africa in the Karoo region where she is now and breeding the tigers. Because all captive tigers today are linked to six tigers who were captured back in 1956, there is a large problem with inbreading.
Back in the 1970’s there were roughly 4,000 South China tigers living in the wild and today there are only about 30, making them nearly extinct in the wild.
Li Quan maintains a blog where you can see all that she is up to!!
