Habitat loss due to deforestation, logging, agriculture, and firewood collection has threatened the Siberian tiger population. Additional threats include loss of prey to hunters, poaching for traditional Chinese medicine, and human-tiger conflict. Conservation efforts include replanting forests, anti-poaching patrols, and a captive breeding program in China, but inbreeding is a problem in some facilities. Experts warn that without effective conservation actions, Siberian tigers could be extinct in the wild by 2022.
