Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

International Tiger Day, also known as Global Tiger Day, is observed every year on July 29 to raise awareness about tiger conservation. The day was established during the First International Tiger Forum held in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 2010, with participation from 13 Tiger Range Countries. The forum, hosted under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin, culminated in the adoption of the St. Petersburg Declaration on Tiger Conservation. This declaration aimed to double the global tiger population by 2022, recognising the alarming decline in tiger numbers and the urgent need for coordinated international efforts to protect them and their habitats.
