International Tiger Day takes place on July 29 every year to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation. In 1973, Project Tiger was initiated by the Indian government to protect the Bengal Tiger and establish tiger reserves to grow their population. Nearly fifty years later, the results of the 2022 Tiger Census were released. It found that India had increased its tiger population from 2,967 in 2018 to 3,682 in 2022, which made the country home to approximately 75 per cent of the world’s tiger population.
