When it comes to our favorite childhood stories, jungle tales featuring the majestic tiger totally take the cake. The stories came alive when our parents took us to see the beautiful big cat in tiger safaris or at the zoo. However, if tiger population continues to dwindle, our kids may see them only in picture books of extinct animals! That’s reason enough to join the celebrations on July 29, when the Global Tiger Day reiterates the importance of tiger conservation efforts.
Today (july 29) marks the day to make everyone aware to join hands to protect tigers. The good news is that in Nepal alone, which accounts for one of every ten tigers worldwide, the numbers have grown from 120 in 2006 to 198 in January this year. Let’s join in the rejoicing and also teach your kids more about the world they live in!
