International Tiger Day is celebrated worldwide on 29 July 2021. This day is also celebrated as Awareness Day. Due to poaching and destruction of forests in various countries, the number of tigers has dropped significantly.
The purpose of celebrating this day is to promote awareness, conservation and expansion of wild tiger habitats around the world. In 2010, at the Tiger Conference in St. Petersburg, Russia, it was decided to celebrate ‘International Tiger Day’ every year on 29 July. In this conference, 13 countries with a tiger population had vowed that by 2022 they will double the tiger population.
Agastya International School stands in solidarity with the world on this issue.
