Panthera tigris amoyensis commonly know as the "South China Tiger" once ranged throughout central China. Reports in 1949 estimated that there was more then 4000 South China Tigers. Unfortunately, from 1950-1960, governmental "Anti-pest Campaigns" were responsible for the deaths of more than one thousand animals. By 1982 less then 200 animals were estimate to exist. Today there are less than twenty wild South China Tigers. Li Quan founder of "Save China's Tigers" is on a mission to save the last of the South China Tigers through a re-wilding program in South Africa.
