Using biotelemetry, scientist and photographer Maurice Hornocker, with Howard Quigley, drafted a landmark conservation plan to save endangered Siberian tigers such as Koucher and Niurka, the captive cats pictured here in Gayvoron, Russia. By means of instruments such as GPS, cameras, and transceivers, biotelemetry helps scientists remotely monitor threatened species.
