Environmental Background Sample Clauses

Environmental Background. The Russian Federation’s Far Eastern Federal District (“Far East Russia”) is a remote area of Russia which sits between Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. Within Far East Russia is one of the last remaining old-growth temperate rainforests, consisting of mixed broadleaf and conifer species, such as Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica) and Korean pine (Pinus koreansis). Mongolian oak is the only oak that grows in Far East Russia. See Map of Russian Federation, Appendix at 1. The temperate forests of Far East Russia are home to the last remaining Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and Amur leopards (Panthera pardus orientalis). There are only an estimated 450 Siberian tigers and 57 Amur leopards remaining in the wild. The primary contributors to the cats’ risk of extinction are illegal logging and detrimental logging practices. The risk stems from the fact that the cats are dependent on intact forests for hunting. In addition, acorns and pine nuts are the primary food source for the cats’ prey species, such as red deer, xxx deer, and wild boar. Extensive illegal logging in Far East Russia has been reported by the Russian government as well as non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”). Much of this illegally-logged wood is transported across Russia’s eastern border into China where it is processed into such things as flooring and furniture. The U.S. is a significant market for Chinese-manufactured flooring and furniture. In response to illegal logging and the decline in tiger populations, Korean pine was added to CITES Appendix III in October 2010. In June 2014, again in response to illegal logging and the decline in tiger populations, Mongolian oak was added to CITES Appendix III.
