Kazakhstan plants tens of thousands of trees in giant effort to reintroduce tigers

Kazakhstan planted 37,000 seedlings and cuttings in South Balkhash last year to prepare for the return of its tigers, which disappeared more than 70 years ago.

😜 We have tigers here. 🐅 There's a home for retired circus tigers on the next hill over.

I have a not zero chance of encountering a stray tiger on my tootles through the vineyards.

@BlippyTheWonderSlug @benroyce I like the way they take in retired tigers of both sexes, and somehow cubs show up.
