‘Rewilding is possible and a good strategy for conservation when a wild big cat population is too low to recover without help. We have successfully trained and released two tigresses that were orphaned as 2 week old cubs. These tigresses were hand reared, taught to hunt and at the age of three years released in a Tiger reserve. Both survived and bred successfully’.
