The Big Cats of the Jungle are thriving hard in this world of illegal poaching and climate change. Their family population diminished. Well, the International Tiger Day is celebrated every year on July 29, trying to answer these concerns with their aims and policies.
We all know in india the tiger is a national animal where the indian tiger is best known for across the world, The magnificent cat with the perfectly proportioned black and orange stripes with a hint of white in between preys on its target. The eyes search for their next hunt, a dinner to fill the stomach of the tiger family. just when she finds her target, she gets ready to leap and hunt. Her eyes scan the forest to look for any other competitors and waiting for the right point she jumps. But rather than scratching the bare body of her hunt, she feels blood oozing out of her own body.
Tigers have been known to reach up to 20 years of age in the wild. Males of the larger subspecies, the continental tiger, may weigh up to 660 pounds. For males of the smaller subspecies—the Sunda tiger—the upper range is at around 310 pounds. Within both subspecies, males are heavier than females.
Three bullets, right on her heart, seizing the living beats and counting the moments, just for her to see the man who hunted her.
The life of a tiger, even within the canopy of her forest trees is in danger. While she rules the animal kingdom with pride and arrogance, she remains vulnerable in front of the human with two legs and a pistol ready to shoot the magnificent cat for its fur to poach.
Since the 20th century, the total number of tigers in the world decreased at an unprecedented rate. Less than half of the species of tiger remain in the world, suffering from an increase in the number of deaths due to climate change, hunting and poaching, diseases, habitat loss, and many such issues.
India being the only nation that has more than half of the total population of tigers categorised the species of the tiger as an endangered one. In the hope of recovering the population of tigers in India, the government launched Project Tiger in 1973 which led to an increase in the total number of tiger reserves from 9 to 50.
To bring an increase in the world population of tigers, World Wide Fund for Nature decided to launch International Tiger Day on 29th July 2010.
At the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia, where various countries sat to discuss the fate of this dying species, the resolution of International Tiger Day was formed. This day aimed to spread awareness regarding the decreasing population of tigers and ensure that the population of this big cat doubles by 2022- the next Chinese New Year of Tiger.
When once the world had more than ten lakh tigers roaming freely and proudly in the forests of the world, now the total number is not more than five thousand. Every country has become aware of this prominent issue that is very significant in maintaining the wellness of biodiversity.
According to the ‘All India Tiger Estimation Report 2018’ India already achieved their 2022 target in 2018 with a population of 2967 tigers. The largest tiger population lies in Madhya Pradesh, followed by Karnataka and Uttarakhand.
While every nation tries to achieve its goal by changing its policies and creating more reserves for the protection of tigers in the world, the population still lies towards the lower end. To keep the world healthy, we need to ensure that the population of tigers is safe and far away from the category of endangered
Tigers are pride to the nation, with their brave and magnificent look they become the notable animal in the kingdom, we have obligation to preserve them as we're the reason for their extinction.
SAVE TIGER, HUMAN!
