Project history
The idea to help the Amur tigers, the unique animals of Russia, came to Henrik and Julia Winter, the founders of Tigrus Holding, about 15 years ago.
This concept started the successful history of Tigrus Holding, a company with a charitable mission, where part of the revenue is used to support wildlife.
In 2018, the idea became the Tigrus Charitable Foundation with large-scale ecosystem conservation projects in Siberia and the Russian Far East.

In 100 years, the world population of tigers has declined 25-fold
Experts estimate that 100 years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 100,000 tigers in the world.
The vast forested area from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean was a reliable home for them. Due to the expansion of human habitat and the consequences of human activities - the growth of cities with their infrastructure, deforestation, etc. - the tigers were displaced from their permanent habitat.

Amur tigers could disappear forever
Amur tigers in Russia's Far East have adapted to harsh, snowy winters and the Siberian taiga. The most important habitats are Primorsky and Khabarovsk regions of Russia. According to preliminary data based on counts from 2015, there were about 549 Amur tigers in the Far East of Russia. Today, experts estimate the number at 600 individuals. As a large and strong predator, the tiger is a very important element of the taiga ecosystems of the Far East and a natural indicator of their well-being. We need to keep a close eye on the tiger population and make every effort to increase the number of tigers so that they can settle in suitable habitats.
