There are about 500 Siberian tigers currently surviving in the wild, but the effective population accounts for genetic diversity. BBC says that the tiger has a very low diversity, which means that any disease or rare genetic disorders will probably be passed on to the next generation. A more diverse genetic population would increase its chance of survival
and would be able to "cancel out" diseases and disorders with healthy genes.
Recent surveys show the wild population of these great cats to around 550, but only around 300-390 are breeding age adults.
The rare white tigers are a color morph of the Bengal, not Siberian tiger. However, in captivity some white Bengals have been mated to siberians, producing white crossbreeds. Many white tigers can be seen in captivity, none seen in wild for many years.
The latest estimates as of July 2015 are 300-450 left in the wild.
Latest numbers are around 500 left in the wild now, a slight increase from the last survey.
Around 150-200 are left in the woods in Russia,China and some parts od North Korea and India
