"Wildlife conservation? Any farmland in our village not damaged by the wild boar? I once suffered crop losses up to RMB10,000 a year!"

Asked Zhang Weimin, a villager in Yaodian village, Yanminghu town two year ago. Today, many residents living in Amur tiger habitats in China probably share the same opinion.

Considering how to conduct both conservation and development, we face considerable challenges of conservation, management and multiple social disciplines. Practical issues are usually more complex and deep-rooted. We shall extensively study in search for long-term solutions.
