International Tiger Day is an annual celebration to raise the awareness of tiger conservation. It's held on 29 July. Governments and citizens across the world organize awareness programmes on that day to spread the importance of protecting tigers.
From ancient times， tigers were the subject of constant attraction for their beauty， size and sometimes mythical stories related to them. People's fascination(人迷)for tigers is obvious from the fact that tigers are still a part of many national symbols and flags. Tigers are the largest cat species. Unfortunately， the population of tigers is fast decreasing. Every part of tigers from tail to skin to nail is traded in the illegal market for very high values. Many tigers are hunted， which is one of the key threats to their existence. They are also caught and raised as pets. 97 percent of the world tiger populations decreased in the last 100 years. If tigers get extinct， we will lose a species. And it also means that enough forests have been destroyed， which may endanger many other species.
For us， tigers are symbols of wildlife's fighting for survival. It reminds us of the dangers we face because of people's over - exploitation(过度开发)of the nature. It's an opportunity as well. Many efforts are on the way to double the tiger population by 2026. Strict national and international laws are against hunting and trading tigers. As a result， the number of tigers in the wild has risen for the first time in more than 100 years. Even though this is just a small increase， it's a huge symbolic victory in our effort against the destruction of forests and wildlife. It's very important that we all join together in this effort， not only to save tigers， but also to save our forests.
