Up to 60 volunteers are participating in an exercise to clear tiger traps in northeast China this winter, Xinhua has reported. The trap-clearing campaign is being jointly organised by New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society, the Heilongjiang Provincial Administration of Forest Industry and the Harbin Daily Newspaper Group, and will clear iron wire ring traps set by poachers to catch wild Siberian tigers in the forests of Heilongjiang province. China only has about 20 wild Siberian tigers left in the wild, 14 of which are thought to live in Heilongjiang.
