International Tiger Day is celebrated on July 29 every year. This day is dedicated to promote and protect the natural habitats of tigers and raising public awareness and support for tiger conservation issues. International Tiger Day, was established in 2010 during the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit. This summit, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, was organised by the Global Tiger Initiative (GTI), which includes nations, international organisations, and conservation groups dedicated to tiger conservation. The Tiger Range Countries (TRCs), nations with wild tiger populations, gathered to address the alarming global decline in tiger numbers.They chose July 29 for International Tiger Day, marking the midpoint between the summit’s first and last days, symbolising the ongoing global effort to save tigers. It highlights the urgent need for tiger conservation, raising awareness about the declining tiger population and mobilising global efforts to protect this iconic species.This year’s theme for International Tigers Day is – Call for Action. The nations came together to join Tx2, intending to double the tiger population from 3,200 to at least 6,000 tigers. This ambitious initiative aimed at addressing numerous challenges faced by tigers such as habitat loss, poaching and human-wildlife conflict. Educational programs and community events aim to inform and engage people, emphasizing the urgency to conserve tigers.
