Since then AMUR has received funding from the British Government for specific conservation work in the Russian Far East for the tigers and the leopards, the first time the British Government has directly contributed to tiger and leopard conservation in Russia. AMUR has also received funding and sponsorship from four major companies active in Russia; Land Rover, BP, Castrol and KPMG. In addition to the government and corporate donations many artists, both British and Russian, have worked hard to demonstrate their support for conservation of these magnificent big cats. Alexander Adams sent the painting "Fighting Leopards" to Moscow last year to raise awareness of the plight of Russia’s endangered Amur tigers and leopards. Alex Adams says "AMUR and I are donating this painting to the State Darwin Museum in the hope that this gift will remind viewers of the beauty and majesty of these endangered Russian big cats. Russia is lucky enough to have these great national treasures in their care. For both Russia and the world’s sake, let us hope that they can be saved from extinction". Mr Adams went on to say "My work has received a very warm welcome in Russia and for my work to find such a good home in Moscow is a great honour to me".
