should be (re) introduced. The fauna of Europe and America is now very empoverished, although they are the richest places. So now that they conserve from a low mega fauna situation, while the mega fauna is getting finally exterminated where it still exists (there are plenty of tigers captive in Texas, true). A way out, and an example to the rest of the planet, is to find ways to live with dangerous fauna(all megafauna is dangerous). One does not see too many Californian ecological fanatics demonstrating to reintroduce the state symbol, found on the California flag, and still in the wilds there a century ago...
The Amur leopard could perhaps be put in the wilds somewhere north (Yukon? BC?)...
