More awareness in the entire world of tiger populations and the challenges for their conservationists. India counts the number of wild tigers every four years and showed a promising rise from 1411 in 2006 to 2226 in 2014.[14] The trend for rising population of tigers in India is as follows:

  1. In the year 2006 - 1411
  2. In the year 2010 - 1706
  3. In the year 2014 - 2226
  4. In the year 2019 - 2967

India is a habitat of 75% of total tigers on the earth.[1]                                                                                        The idea behind International Tiger Day has always been to spread awareness, making more and more people understand why tigers are important and what is the threat to their survival. If you are interested in International Tiger Day, first step is to educate yourself about factors like illegal wildlife trade, human wildlife conflict and habitat loss which impact tiger population. One way of doing that is watching documentaries available on the internet.                                                                            This was first celebrated in 2010 and was founded at an international summit that had been called in response to the shocking news that 97% of all wild tigers had disappeared in the last century, with only around 3,000 left alive.

Tigers are on the brink of extinction and International World Tiger Day aims to bring attention to this fact and try to halt their decline. Many factors have caused their numbers to fall, including habitat loss, climate change, hunting and poaching and Tiger Day aims to protect and expand their habitats and raise awareness of the need for conservation.

Many international organizations are involved in the day, including the WWF, the IFAW and the Smithsonian Institute.                                                                                                

  • Look at the tigers mighty and strong, killing them for their fur is very wrong.

  • There’s a Tiger out there who thinks you’re terrific!

  • Use only cameras to shoot the tiger, not the gun.

  • Tigers Are One Of A Kind, Please Save Them Or You Will Be Fined.

  • One can measure the greatness and moral progress of a nation by looking at how it treats its animals.

  • Oddly enough, I'm not a particularly judgmental person. I just don't have a lot of filtering when I'm in 'tiger mother' mode. I say what comes into my head. - Amy Chua, author of "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother"
