International Day of the Tiger, July 29
Global or International Tiger Day is an annual celebration to raise
awareness for tiger conservation. It was created in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit. The goal of the day is to promote a global system for protecting the natural habitats of tigers and to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation issues.
As per the 2018 tiger census, the population of the Royal Bengal Tigers in India is 2967, which is more than double of the number counted in 2006.
Following the result of Tiger Census 2018, Madhya Pradesh became the Tiger state of India with 526 Tigers whereas Karnataka, who was holding the Tiger State salutation since 2010 slipped to the second position with 524 Royal Bengal Tiger population and Uttrakhand is third with 442 tigers.
Since tigers are present across all of India, tiger habitats are divided into 5 landscapes.
    Shivalik Gangetic Plains
    Central India and the Eastern Ghats
    Western Ghats
    North Eastern Hills and Brahmaputra Flood Plains
    Sunderbans
All of these 5 tiger landscapes were analyzed separately to get the most accurate tiger population spread across India and various techniques were used to achieve the results.
While tiger populations in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Bihar have registered
an increase, those in Mizoram, Odisha and Chhattisgarh have decreased
since the 2006 census. Pench National Park in Madhya Pradesh and Periyar National Park in Kerala are the top-rated Tiger Reserves in India.
