International Tiger Day observes to create awareness for tiger conservation

Every year on July 29, International Tiger Day is observed to raise awareness for tiger conservation which was created in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia. A total of 13 countries, including India, joined together with the goal of doubling the number of wild tigers across the globe. India is recognised as having the most tigers at present, with approximately 3,167 animals in the country.

The goal of Tiger Day is to promote a global system for safeguarding the natural habitats of tigers, as well as to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation concerns. Additionally, International Tiger Day has been found to be helpful in raising tiger awareness online through information searches.
