A former fashion executive with no formal conservation experience has begun a captive breeding program for the critically endangered South China Tiger...in South Africa...with the notion of eventually re-releasing them to their endemic range in China. The BBC has an interesting audio slideshow about the program. There are a number of components to this article that intrigue me, not the least of which is a rather sexy image of a tiger hunting hartebeest in the South African veld. I'm not saying that there aren't some serious potential critiques for the program, but these images certainly got my attention!
