July 29

International Tiger Day was established in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit to bring worldwide attention to the urgent need for tiger protection. Tigers are classified as endangered, with wild populations facing threats from poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. On July 29th, conservation groups coordinate events, social media campaigns, and educational programs to highlight conservation successes and ongoing challenges. Wildlife reserves offer guided tours and fundraising initiatives to support anti-poaching patrols. Zoos and botanical gardens often host special talks, film screenings, and interactive exhibits. This day reminds the global community to support sustainable practices that protect tiger habitats. By engaging schools, policymakers, and the public, International Tiger Day fosters collaborative efforts across borders. The observance inspires individuals to take concrete actions, from donating to habitat restoration to reducing the illegal wildlife trade. Celebrants can participate in photo contests, art installations, and citizen science projects.
