Global Tiger Day, also known as International Tiger Day, is celebrated annually on 29th July.

And there's good news from the wild in northeast China: populations of Amur tigers and Amur leopards have continued to recover over the past decade according to China’s National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

China established the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park in 2021. Since then, efforts to restore habitats, strengthen monitoring and improve ecological connectivity have created better conditions for these endangered big cats to thrive.
