A tigress named Zolushka (Russian for Cinderella) was successfully released to the wild by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW – www.ifaw.org) jointly with the Phoenix Fund, Special Inspection Tiger, A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, and the Russian Academy of Sciences.

As it happens frequently in Russia’s Far East, the Amur tigress became an orphan in the winter of 2012. Zolushka’s mother was a likely victim of poaching.

It’s been more than 40 years since a small group of concerned citizens banded together to stop Canada’s cruel commercial seal hunt. We’ve since grown into the most effective international organization specializing in saving animals in crisis around the world. Today, IFAW works to protect animals in more than 40 countries, where we have identified both critical need and exemplary local partners.
