Several different conservation projects are trying to protect the Siberian tigers. The their Siberian tiger project was founded in 1992 to study the role of tigers in the Amur area and ecology. In early stages of the project, the researchers captured tigers and outfitted them with radio collars so they could track the animals movement and relationship with other animals in the ecosystem An outgrowth of that project is the Tiger Response Team that responds to tiger human conflicts and attempts to educate people on tiger conservation. Since 2010, several other projects have been started to enhance tiger conservation.
