Research overview: Amur tiger conflict with people in the Russian Far East

This overview reviews human-tiger conflict involving Amur (Siberian) tigers in the Russian Far East and northeast China, a low-density, cold-forest population. It synthesises studies of livestock and dog depredation, rare attacks on people, the role of prey depletion from ungulate poaching, injured or food-stressed individuals straying into settlements, and conflict mortality from retaliation and snaring. The literature examines specialist tiger-response teams, problem-animal protocols, rehabilitation and release of orphaned or conflict tigers, and transboundary management. The survey frames Amur tiger conflict as shaped by a sparse predator population in a harsh environment, where each conflict death matters demographically and where maintaining wild prey is central to keeping tigers away from people.
