Karin Kneissl, Austria's former Foreign Minister, has been appointed as the Tiger Ambassador in Russia, supporting the protection of the endangered Amur tiger. She has donated money for camera traps and plans to establish a tiger protection station.
Russia has successfully doubled the Amur tiger population in the last decade through state-funded protection programs. Kneissl expressed her excitement about her new role at economic forums in St. Petersburg and Vladivostok.
President Putin, known for his interest in animal protection, also promotes himself as Russia's top animal advocate. Kneissl's previous bow to Putin as Foreign Minister had garnered criticism.
