International Tiger Day History

International Tiger Day was created in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia by Vladimir Putin, who made it his mission to save the Amur tiger.

The Amur Tiger Centre is an organisation created by the Russian Geographical Society on the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

International Tiger Day Significance

International Tiger Day serves as an annual reminder to protect these big cats, who play a vital role in maintaining the health and balance of ecosystems. As apex predators, they regulate the populations of herbivores like deer and wild boar, which in turn helps prevent overgrazing of vegetation. Without tigers, the entire food chain can be affected, leading to ecological degradation and loss of biodiversity. Hence, it is the need of the hour to protect and conserve tigers and the rich natural heritage that sustains life on Earth.
