International Tiger Day is observed every year all over the world on July 29.
The objective of the day is to raise awareness among individuals, organisations, and governments about the importance of the conservation of tigers.
As per World Wildlife Fund, approximately 95 percent of the population of tigers has declined in the last 150 years.
Therefore, this day aims to encourage all to take appropriate action to save the wild cats.
International Tiger Day is celebrated on July 29 because it was on this day in 2010 that the International Tiger Summit took place in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Notably the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, India, the tiger population has indeed doubled since 2010.
