International Tiger Day 2021: Global Tiger Day or International Tiger Day is celebrated every year on 29 July to raise awareness about this endangered big cat. Created in 2010 at the St. Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia.
India is home to more than half of the world’s wild tigers – an estimated 2,226. Global Tiger Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor across all WWF tiger landscapes. Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupendra Yadav tweeted on the occasion and said how 70% of the world’s tigers are found in India.
