据新华社报道，5月18日，进村东北虎“完达山一号”已被成功放归长白山老爷岭山脉一带。国家林草局表示，这是我国首次成功救护并放归野生东北虎。科研人员将对其在野外的健康状况、遗传信息、生存能力等进行持续实时监测和研究。

A rare wild Siberian tiger was successfully released back into the wild in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on Tuesday, according to a Xinhua reporter at the scene. It is the first time that a wild Siberian tiger has been successfully rescued and released into the wild in China, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration said. Researchers will continue monitoring and studying the tiger's health status and genetic information, as well as its chances of survival in the wild, the administration said.
