The tiger is the national animal of India and has historically faced threats from habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with humans. While tigers once roamed most of Asia, their range has now been reduced to just 7% of its former size, with populations in only 13 countries. It is estimated there are now only around 3,200 tigers remaining worldwide. International Tiger Day, held annually on July 29, aims to raise awareness and support for tiger conservation efforts to help protect this endangered species.

2. Tiger - the symbol of national pride
The magnificent tiger, Panthera tigris is a
striped animal. It has a thick yellow coat of
fur with dark stripes. The combination of
grace, strength, agility and enormous power
has earned the tiger its pride of place as the
national animal of India.

3. A LONG HISTORY OF PERSECUTION
•Habitat loss due to agricultural and developmental
activities
• Poaching and Hunting : For over 1,000 years , tigers have
been hunted and poached as
Status symbols.
For making decorative items like floor and wall
coverings.
As souvenirs and curios.
Its skin is used to make robes.
Bones and skull are used in asian traditional
medicines.
Tiger bones are also superstitously used to scare
away evil influences.
Tiger fats are used in balms and potion.
Claws are used as talismans.
•Human tiger conflicts

4. Less than 100 years ago…………
tiger prowled almost all of asia .
TODAY their range has been reduced to just 7% of its former
size.
Tigers are now found in only 13 range states :
Bangladesh Bhutan Cambodia
China India Indonesia
Lao PDR Malaysia Myanmar
Nepal Russia Thailand
Vietnam

5. Population at a tipping point
•Although there are no accurate estimates of the world tiger
population, numbers are thought to have fallen by over 95%
since the turn of the 20th century-down from perhaps
100,000 to the current estimate of possibly as few as
3200individuals.
•Three subspecies – Bali , Javan ,and Caspian tigers were extinct
by the 1980s
•Even in India the species stronghold , a recent government
census suggests there may be as few as 1400tigers left.

6. And we would have
to take the
blame.....
Mankind would have to make a
big apology to future generations which would
never get the chance to see the biggest of all cats,
one of the most majestic, beautiful, amazing
creatures ever to walk the Earth.
Extinction is permanent, and it
is the failings of modern man

9. Increase in
Herbivores
less
producers

change
Makes
human life
miserable
Less
Tiger
 Tiger is an apex predator-
a top carnivore.
 It checks the population of
herbivores like deer , gaur etc.
 Without tiger their number
expands.
 This increase totally ravage its
food source-vegetations.
 Without vegetation------it
leads to natural calamities like
flood , soil erosion etc
and
 Causes climate change------
leads to more carbon dioxide
emission , without plants to
trap these , it results in
greenhouse effect & global
warming.

10. A home for tigers= A home for others
With just
one tiger, WE
protect
around 100
sq km of
forest.
.
To save tigers we need to protect the forest habitats across Asia where they
live. And by saving these places we will not only allow tigers to roam freely,
but also many other endangered species that live or co-exist with them and
FORM THE VERY THING THAT MAKES OUR PLANET UNIQUE.

12.  International Tiger Day is held annually on July
29 to give worldwide attention to the reservation
of tigers.
 It is both an awareness day and a celebration.
 It was founded at the Saint Petersburg Tiger
Summit in 2010.
 This was done because at that moment wild
tigers were too close to extinction.
 The goal of Tiger Day is to promote the
protection and expansion of the wild tigers
habitats and to gain support through awareness
for tiger conservation.

13. • Many animal welfare organisations pledged to help
these wonderful creatures and are still helping to raise
funds to reach this goal.
