(1)Russian NGO fights poachers to protect endangered Siberian tigers

TOKYO, Japan - Sergey Shaitarov speaks in an interview with Kyodo News during his visit to Japan. Shaitarov and other members of his nongovernmental organization (NGO) patrol the snow-covered forests in eastern Siberia by foot and by car around the clock. They are there to protect endangered Siberian tigers despite the dangers posed to the group members themselves by poachers. ''This is our homeland and there is part of nature that can only be found here,'' he said.
