India Celebrates Global Tiger Day with 70% of World's Tigers

Global Tiger Day is celebrated every year on July 29 to raise awareness about tiger conservation.

This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared that India is home to nearly 70% of the world's tigers.

The country's tiger population has increased to 3,682, thanks to decades of conservation efforts.

These efforts include science-based conservation, community participation, and sustainable development.

The government also acknowledged the role of forest officials and scientists in protecting tigers.

Despite these successes, challenges like human-wildlife conflict and habitat loss still exist.
