야생 호랑이 현재 가치가 1억 원?! 한반도에 호랑이가 돌아오지 못하는 이유와 한국 호랑이 복원 논쟁의 모든 것 #과학 #EBS지식

🗝️Intellectual +: https://bit.ly/EBSKnowledge MC Defconn, Professor Lee Dae-han of the Department of Life Sciences at Sungkyunkwan University, Professor Jang Hong-je of the Department of Chemistry at Kwangwoon University, and science communicator Hang Seong-eun meet with Dr. Lim Jeong-eun of the National Institute of Ecology's Endangered Species Restoration Center to delve into the possibility of conserving wild tigers that have disappeared from the Korean Peninsula. Dr. Lim Jeong-eun is Korea's only researcher of wild tigers. With a single goal in mind: "saving tigers from extinction," Dr. Lim has followed tigers' trails to China, Russia, and Laos! Traveling to tiger conservation sites around the world, she has reached a single conclusion: human cooperation is essential for tigers to escape extinction. What do countless tiger habitats around the world—Korea, China, Russia, India, Malaysia, etc.—have in common? They share a profound love for the king of beasts, the tiger. But that love sometimes manifests in the wrong ways. In traditional Korean medicine, it has been said that tigers are "from head to toe, with nothing to waste." As if to prove this point, a wild tiger recorded during the Japanese colonial period in 1918 was worth approximately 100 million won in today's value! Dr. Lim Jeong-eun's shocking testimony, revealing that the shadow of tiger poaching still lingers 100 years later, left three scientists, including MC Defcon, in awe. "Should a scientist do something like that?" MC Defcon asked Dr. Lim Jeong-eun, who had gone to China to work on tiger conservation and then spent a year as an English teacher to village children. Dr. Lim Jeong-eun calmly replied, "It is the duty of a conservation biologist to conserve tigers by any means necessary." Despite the dedicated efforts of conservation biologists like Dr. Lim Jeong-eun, why have tigers not returned to the Korean Peninsula? [#HobbyScience] Episode 48 explores the history of the Joseon tiger, which disappeared into the back alleys of history, and considers how to truly coexist with tigers. #EBS #EBSKnowledge #HobbyScience #Tiger #Science #Nature #Extinction #Restoration #EndangeredSpecies #Wildlife #WildAnimals #Animals #Creatures #KoreanPeninsula #JoseonTiger #KoreanTiger #ImJeongEun #Defcon #LeeDaeHan #JangHongJe #HangSeong 📺Broadcast Information 📌Program Title: HobbyScience - Tigers, Why Won't They Return 📌Air Date: September 5, 2025
