The International Academic and Research Conference "Habitats, Migrations and Other Movements of Wild Animals" can become a popular platform for discussing topical issues in the biology of terrestrial animals.
"Now there are not enough platforms where experts in land animals could exchange experiences and ideas. Apparently, the venue had by a certain affect, since 12 reports were devoted to the Amur tiger and related elements of the ecosystem," commented director of the Amur Tiger Center’s Primorye branch Sergei Aramilev. - The participation of the Amur Tiger Center in the organization of this conference is the first such experience for us, which, undoubtedly, can be called successful.
