A six-month old cub looks on at the Laohu Valley Reserve near Philippolis
A six-month old cub looks on at the Laohu Valley Reserve near Philippolis September 18, 2008. The " Save Chinas Tigers" is a breeding project, where the cubs are born under natural conditions without human help, the tigers are taught to survive in the wild. Only about 76 South China Tigers exist in captivity and some believe that fewer than 30 survive in the wild, according to the organisation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a six-month-old cub gazes intently at its surroundings in the Laohu Valley Reserve near Philippolis. The image captures the innocence and curiosity of this young tiger as it takes in the world around it. The Laohu Valley Reserve is part of the "Save China's Tigers" breeding project, which aims to preserve and reintroduce South China Tigers into their natural habitat. Unlike other breeding programs, these cubs are born under natural conditions without human intervention, allowing them to learn essential survival skills for life in the wild. Sadly, the population of South China Tigers is alarmingly low, with only about 76 individuals existing in captivity. Even more concerning is that some estimates suggest that fewer than 30 tigers survive in their native habitats. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect and conserve endangered species like the South China Tiger. It highlights both the beauty and vulnerability of these majestic creatures and underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts. Through initiatives like "Save China's Tigers" we can hope for a brighter future where these magnificent animals thrive once again in their natural habitats. Let us cherish this precious cub's innocent gaze as a symbol of hope for a better tomorrow for all endangered wildlife.
