Every Year July 29 is marked as the International Tiger Day since 2010 when it was first created as the saint Petersburg Tiger summit.this was done in order to raise awareness of the decline of the wild tiger numbers, leaving them on the brink of extinction and to enhance the importance of tiger in the ecosystem. The aim of this day is to help promote a worldwide system whereby we are dedicated to protecting tigers and their natural habitats.
The threat for the wildlife is increasing day by day, today just in one century, the estimated population of the tiger has been sharply declined. Tiger is the mot charismatic well known largest Asian big cats, the most important fact is that tiger can be easily well differentiated since the pattern of stripes is unique to each individual. Tiger are facing a serious danger of becoming extinct in the world. There used to be Nine subspecies of tiger: Bengal, Siberian, Indochinese, South Chinese, Sumatran, Malayan, Caspian, Javan and Bali. Out of the nine Subspecies, last three has already been extinct and remaining are in the verse of endangered. Tiger population are under threat from tiger poaching, habitat loss and prey depletion, degradation and fragmentation. In Nepal fragmentation and loss of natural habitat and poaching are the major challenge and threat to effective conservation.
As per some estimates, around 3800 thought to remain in wild. According to Nepal’s 2018 tiger census, the country’s tiger population has touched 235 compared to 198 in 2013, that means the wild tiger population has risen by nearly 20percent in just four year. According to the daily newspaper Kathmandu post 29 july 2019, tiger population are growing and now they are frequently coming out of Bardiya National park. So its very important to conserve tiger population since tiger is most important component of eco system.
Key strategies: v Build capacity in range state v Conduct scientific research on tigers to help inform conservation strategies v Promote tiger friendly policy v Monitor tiger numbers, population trends, and threat to tigers and their habitat v Reduce illegal poaching and hunting v Minimize human-tiger conflict v Promote their habitats

Hi Sandhya Adhikari, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.
I did not know that this international day exists. Korea is famous for tigers also. However, heavy urbanization has prevented tigers from living in Korea. As you've mentioned, humans' activities are removing tigers unfortunately. I really hope we learn the way to coexist with wild animals.
Green cheers~

Hello Sandhya Adhikari, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for reading the article about the special anniversary of International Tiger Day! Top predators like tigers seem to be on the verge of disappearing from the ecosystem these days. I think it's because the population is small because of the nature of the object, and it looks great to create such an international anniversary and be alerted to the creature!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!

Ahlan Sandhya Adhikari!
Greetings from UAE
First off, congratulations on this post. I completely agree with the fact that The threat to wildlife is increasing day by day. Over the last century, tiger habitats have fallen by around 95 per cent, and there are now fewer than 4,000 tigers alive in the wild, reports the World Wildlife Federation (WWF).
Off to share!
Sincerely
Rafa
