The first batch of national parks in China was formally established Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park ｜ The largest settlement and breeding area of wild Siberian tiger and leopard in China.

CCTV News:Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, which spans Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, is located in the center of Asian temperate coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest ecosystem, adjacent to Russia and North Korea. It is the largest and only settlement and breeding area of wild Siberian tiger and leopard population with breeding families in China. With various vegetation types and relatively complete ecological structure, the park is a typical representative of temperate forest ecosystem and a model of cross-border cooperation and protection.

It is understood that since the pilot of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park in August 2017, the ecosystem in the pilot area has been protected, restored and managed as a whole, and the ecosystem with tigers and leopards as its flagship species has shown a good recovery trend, embarking on a new path in which important natural resource assets across provincial administrative regions are directly exercised by the central government. According to the latest data from the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Administration, the number of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park has also increased from 27 and 42 at the beginning of the pilot in 2017 to 50 and 60 respectively, and more than 10 newly bred cubs and more than 7 cubs have been monitored.
