Chinese tigers trained for wild in Africa

This, is shocking, I heard about that experiment with Bengal tigers born in Captivity a few years, back how they were sent to Africa and learned how to hunt, but with a subspecies as crictically endangered as the southern Chinese tiger?! I can see thebenefits yes, but I just think that in an ecosystem totally diffrent than the tiger I don't think its such a wise choice, I would see not many , if not none if they were released into a protected habitat that tigers actually inhabit,

I also heard about the training with Bengal Tigers. I think it was on Animal Planet or Discovery Channel.
 
I think this project is a metaphor for conservation. A wealthy person who is given a huge some of money to a cause some so called ''conservationists'' have already given up on. If it was for more people like her, we wouldn't need zoos at all...
