Operation Amba is the codename of a Russian programme[1] to curtail the poaching of Siberian tigers in the Russian Far East.[2][3] Operation Amba was described as a strategic defence of the tiger with Psychological operations as a major element.[4] It was concentrated on identifying and neutralizing tiger traders in the Russian Far East[4] and used small anti-poaching teams to roam the taiga and build a network among local population for support and information.[2]
Operation Amba is credited for bringing the Siberian tiger back from the brink of extinction in the mid-1990s.[5][6]
