Day 5-6

After learning so much about tigers from a global level, understanding situations that are happening in other Tiger Range Country, we hold a plenary session about tiger conservation – problems and solutions in tiger habitats, and engagement of youths in tiger conservation.

(Presentasi national project)

We had a group discussion session, where each country presents their youth action plan, while others give comments to improve it.

Day 3-4 (Field Trips)

20-21 November

We went on field trips to see the Conservation of Siberian tiger and its habitat in the Russian Far East. There were two different field trips, so we were divided into 2 groups and take turn to go to those places.

We went to Kedrovaya Pad state nature reserve to WWF visitors’ center Land of Leopard (Barabash Village). We tracked the Ecological trail and saw the camera traps, how it works, and how it helps researchers to know the Siberian Tigers and Siberian Leopards population, preys, home range, etc. We also saw tracks of Leopard and Sika deer on the snow.

Peresmian dimulainya Youth Tiger Summit (YTS) diadakan di Universitas Ekonomi di Vladivostok yang dihadiri oleh Gubernur Primorsky Krai dan CEO WWF Russia Igor Chestin. Setelah YTS dibuka secara resmi, rombongan delegasi dibawa ke pelabuhan Vladivostok. Di tengah udara dingin minus 10 dan di pinggir pantai pula, diadakan acara “Tiger Trail”. “Tiger Trail” adalah acara peletakan batu atau tegel atau ubin di pelataran dekat pelabuhan Vladivostok yang juga area wisata lokal. Kalau dibayangkan, ini persis seperti peletakan ubin ‘hall of fame’ nya Hollywood. Cuma di ubinnya kali ini ditulis nama-nama 13 negara habitat harimau. Duh jadi terharu dan bangga… teman-teman bisa lihat bentuk ubinnya di foto.
