Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.
The Shaanxi provincial government said Sunday that farmer Zhou Zhenglong had fudged some photographs for the purpose.The government had earlier claimed the photos were real.
The 54yearold farmer from Zhenping county,who claimed to have photographed the "tiger" with a digital camera on October 3 last year,was arrested for alleged fraud on Saturday,said Bai Shaokang,spokesman for the Shaanxi provincial public security bureau.The provincial forestry department has revoked(取消,收回)his 20,000yuan reward($2,915)too.
Experts believe the South China tiger is the progenitor of all the living tiger species.
Its number in the wild had fallen between 30 and 80 by 1996.Now,it is widely believed to have become extinct in the wild.
Bai said police have seized the old tiger photograph,which Zhou borrowed from a farmer in another village in September to fudge his photos.A tiger paw made of wood,which he used to create pug marks on snow,has been seized too.
Zhou had insisted that he "risked his life to take the photos of a real tiger".
Police have found the exact spot where Zhou took the photos.It is in Madaozi forest,15 km from Wencai village in Zhenping,and is 2,000 m above the sea level,Bai said."It is a small area with few tall trees not a suitable habitat for a tiger."

Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
