History of International Tiger Day
International Tiger Day was observed for the first time in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia. On this day, 13 tiger range countries signed an agreement for raising awareness regarding the decreasing numbers of tigers throughout the world. The agreement also highlights the need to preserve the natural habitat of tigers. During this while, the countries came together to pledge for doubling the number of wild tigers by the year 2022.
Why Celebrate International Tiger Day?
International Tiger Day is an annual event that celebrates the conservation of tigers and their habitats. On this day, people all over the world come together to raise awareness about the importance of protecting these animals.
Tigers are one of the most endangered species on Earth. They have been in decline for many years due to poaching and habitat destruction. International Tiger Day helps to raise awareness about the dangers these animals face and the need for everyone to help protect them.
Participants in International Tiger Day events can learn about different ways they can help protect tigers and their habitats. They can also learn about new conservation initiatives that are being launched around the world.
This is a great opportunity to get involved in conservation efforts. By celebrating this day, we can help to save one of the world’s most endangered animals.
Significance of International Tiger Day
Tigers are an integral part of our ecosystem. In fact, they are the largest species of the cat family and play a major role in maintaining the health and diversity of the planet. The tiger population helps in regulating the balance in the food chain. However, an increase in hunting and poaching activities has resulted in a decline in the tiger population. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), there are only 3,900 wild tigers on the planet.
According to a report issued by the Indian Government, India has already achieved the 2022 target of tiger population with 2967 tigers in the country. With these numbers, the highest number of tigers are recorded in Madhya Pradesh followed by Karnataka and Uttarakhand.
