Tigers of the Snow

The film focuses on the dwindling population of Siberian Tigers, with only about 300 remaining in the wild, primarily in Eastern Russia. It showcases the work of dedicated wildlife biologists who risk their lives to track these tigers, sedate them for research, and monitor their movements and habits.

Viewers will see a Russian scientist raising two orphaned tiger cubs and the challenges of providing care in a controlled environment. The documentary contrasts the scientists' efforts with the threats posed by poachers, who hunt these tigers for their pelts and body parts used in traditional medicine. This stark portrayal of conservation efforts against illegal hunting provides insight into the perilous state of the Siberian Tiger.
