Global Tiger Day is an annual celebration to raise awareness for tiger conservation, held annually on 29 July, 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. Around 3,900 tigers (in 2019) remain in the wild, but much more work is needed to protect this species if we are to secure its future in the wild. After a century of decline, overall wild tiger numbers are starting to tick upward. In some areas, including much of Southeast Asia, tigers are still in crisis and declining in number. Based on the best available information, tiger populations are stable or increasing in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia and China.
