Commemorative Occasion Today: July 29 - International Tiger Day
The Day of Creation, celebrated on a significant date, holds a double meaning for nature conservationists worldwide. Not only does it mark the establishment of the Ecumenical Kirchentag (Ecumenical Church Assembly) in Munich, Germany in 2010, but it also symbolises a global commitment to the recovery and protection of the endangered tiger.
The International Forum, held in St. Petersburg the same year, established the Day of Creation to raise awareness about the plight of the tiger. The animal, included in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Red Book of Russia, and various protective documents of other countries, is an endangered species with a population estimated to be between 2,600 and 3,350 individuals, representing approximately 75% of the global tiger population.
The recovery program for tigers was calculated for the period from 2010 to 2022, with a goal to double the number of tigers from 2010 to 2022. The programme was adopted at the forum and involved representatives from 13 countries.
The tiger population in India, home to the majority of these majestic creatures, has remained stable. However, in neighbouring Nepal, the tiger population has almost doubled in 11 years, from 121 to 235. This positive trend is also observed among the Amur tigers, with around 200 living in the Far East, and their total number in Russia approaching 750.
The main threat to tigers continues to be poaching. To combat this, efforts are being made to strengthen law enforcement, increase public awareness, and support anti-poaching initiatives.
While the Day of Creation is a significant day for tiger conservation, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of showing care and attention to loved ones. It is a day to celebrate the beauty and resilience of the tiger, and a call to action to ensure its survival for future generations.
In addition to the Day of Creation, the Day of Caring for Loved Ones is also celebrated on this day, reminding us of the importance of nurturing and cherishing our relationships. Meanwhile, International Lipstick Day is also celebrated, dedicated to one of the most popular and oldest cosmetic products. The first mentions of lipstick can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago.
As we celebrate these days, let us remember the interconnectedness of our world and the importance of preserving its diverse species, including the majestic tiger.
