29th July: International Tiger Day

International Tiger Day is observed on 29 July every year to raise awareness about the conservation of tigers and to promote the protection of the natural habitat of tigers since 2010, when it was first created at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit.

This was done to raise awareness of the decline of wild tiger numbers, leaving them on the brink of extinction and to encourage the celebration of the important work of Tiger conservation. International Tiger Day is also known as Global Tiger Day.Many well-known animal organisations such as the WWF, the IFAW and the Smithsonian Institute get behind this event.
