32、riday. A tiger was recently seen on the Sino-Russian border （中俄边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from, cross-border（跨国的） protection of endangered species is a problem.

It is necessary
37、to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then.
