WORLD TIGER DAY


            Global Tiger Day is celebrated every year on July 29th as a way to raise awareness about this magnificent but endangered big cat. The day was founded in 2010, when the 13 tiger range countries came together to create Tx2 – the global goal to double the number of wild tigers by the year 2022. 

Reasons behind the declining population of Tigers

- Poaching and illegal trade: 

- Habitat loss: 

- Climate Change: 

- Several diseases are also the key factor.

- Degradation of Habitats: 

- Man-animal conflict also affects the population of big cats.

- Lack of protection infrastructure.

- Increasing tourism day by day is also one of the factors for the decline in tiger numbers.
