There are some huge problems with local residents who are understandably terrified at the prospect of maneaters being released near them. I will get some more information on this and publish it shortly. Yes IF the forest is protected.

Could the Sumatran tigers be integrated into other protected and sizeable reserves in Indonesia (elsewhere) where the local tigers are threatened by extinction. Is that part of the wider/longer term FFtF strategy? Great reporting and strategic thinking.

Rome has just had the first snow in 30 years if this fact is not a big slap in the face to all of tho's skeptics i don't no what is. i believe very much in attacking the problem from both ends, this surely is the only sensible coherent plan. people only want the short easy solution, which there is none for our problem. when i say our problem i mean every person who resides in this world which is not ours it is only on loan, a loan we are not paying back. and this will be our demise. this is a very real dilemma.
