International Tiger Day 2026

Despite slow but steady progress, there are still less than 4,500 wild tigers in the world, primarily in 13 different countries. Global Tiger Day raises awareness of the issue, encourages action, and supports programs to protect these important creatures and their ecosystems.

 Conservation Difficulties 

Here are some of the conservation difficulties of International Tiger Day as follows: 

1. There is damage to the almost one million km² of protected areas which make the tiger's natural habitat. Because of illegal trading, tiger parts—skins, bones, and teeth—remain highly valued on black markets 

1. Tiger habitat is at risk due to saltwater intrusion caused by rising sea levels in coastal reserves like the Sundarbans 

1. Because of genetic isolation, isolated communities suffer the risk of having less genetic diversity and being less durable.
