🔥 Introduction

International Tiger Day 2025: Har saal 29 July ko manaya jata hai International Tiger Day, jise Global Tiger Day bhi kaha jata hai. Ye din sirf tigers ke liye nahi, balki hamare forests, pani, aur entire ecosystem ke liye ek wake-up call hai.

Tiger ka jungle mein hona, ek healthy environment ka signal hota hai. Agar tiger safe hai, toh forest safe hai. Aur jab forest safe hai, toh insani zindagi bhi balance mein hoti hai.

🧭 History of International Tiger Day

International Tiger Day ki shuruaat hui thi 2010 mein, Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit ke dauraan. Us samay, duniya ke 13 tiger range countries ne milke ek commitment liya:

🌐 “TX2 Initiative” – jiska goal tha ki 2022 tak wild tigers ki population ko double kiya jaye.

Tab duniya bhar mein tigers ki ginti lagbhag 3,200 thi. Aaj, lagbhag 4,000 wild tigers survive kar rahe hain. Though TX2 target fully achieve nahi hua, lekin progress kaafi achha raha.

🐅 Why Tigers Matter?(International Tiger Day 2025)

Tiger sirf ek jaanwar nahi hai, woh jungle ka king hai aur ecological balance ka protector bhi. Agar tiger hai toh:

• ✅ Jungle mein natural prey-predator cycle maintained rehta hai

• ✅ Vegetation protect hoti hai

• ✅ Ground water recharge properly hota hai

• ✅ Climate regulated rehta hai

🧠 Fact: 100 saal pehle, duniya mein 1 lakh se zyada wild tigers the. Aaj sirf ~4,000 bache hain.
