International Tiger Day is celebrated every year to spread awareness about conserving and protecting the tiger population. India is the abode of over 70% of the world's tiger population. Tigers are poached for their body parts, which are in high demand worldwide. Tiger bones are supposedly used to treat ulcers, burns, and several diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Other parts, like whiskers, teeth, and fur, are used as exotic luxury goods and talismans. This Tiger Day, let's take a pledge to protect these wild cats and aid in the conservation of their natural habitats.
