Story summary

A rare Amur tiger, named Umit and female, has been released into the wild in Kazakhstan's Ile-Balkhash Nature Reserve as part of an effort to restore the species' population, which was wiped out in central Asia about 100 years ago. This is the first time an Amur tiger has been released in Kazakhstan in over 70 years. Umit is one of four tigers transferred from Russia, and will be monitored to see how she adapts to her new habitat before the other three are released. The goal is to restore the Amur tiger population, which was previously eradicated from central Asia.
