World Tiger Day.

July 30, 2022

In February 2008, a report by the National Tiger Conservation Authority presented an alarming report, revealing that there were only 1411 tigers left in the country, home to the big cats.
The efforts for the conservation of tigers on a global level began in 2010, when 13 countries, including Nepal, Bhutan, and India met with a goal to increase their Tiger population. They decided to double their wild tiger numbers by 2022.
International Tiger Day is being celebrated on 29th July. The main aim behind this day is to promote a global system for protecting the natural habitats of tigers and to raise awareness and support for tiger conservation.
According to World Wildlife Fund, tiger populations are currently stable or increasing in India.
The tiger reserves of India were set up in 1973 and are governed by Project Tiger, which is administrated by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
According to the latest Tiger Census of 2018-19 conducted in India, 2,967 Tigers live in the country.
The population growth rate of Tiger is six per cent per annum. India is home to 80 per cent of tigers in the world.
There are a total of 53 Tiger reserves in India as of 2022.
The combined area of Guru Ghasidas National Park (Sanjay National Park) and Tamor Pingla Wildlife Sanctuary of Chhattisgarh have been designated as India’s 53rd Tiger Reserve by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
