International Tiger Day has been held on the 29th July every year since 2010 when it was first created at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit. This was done to raise awareness of the decline of wild tiger numbers, leaving them on the brink of extinction and to encourage the celebration around the important work of Tiger conservation. India is one country that has been highly successful in tiger conservation.
According to the 2022 Census, there are 3,167 tigers across the country, accounting for nearly 75 per cent of the world’s wild tiger population. In Vogue Life magazine thought of an innovative way to draw attention towards tiger conservation and collaborated with Wildlife Photographers Collective India (WPCI) to do an enriching video series.
India has seen a gradual surge in the number of tigers, from 1,411 in 2006 to 2,226 in 2014. Besides efforts by wildlife conservationists and forest officials, experts cite nature tourism as one of the reasons for the roaring success in increasing the number of tigers in India.
Wildlife Photographers Collective India (WPCI) has expert photographers and wildlife photography enthusiasts who conduct regular workshops and discuss the intricacies of cameras, equipment and frames and In Vogue Life magazine in collaboration with WPCI has rolled out a photo contest on wildlife photography and nature photography which is ongoing till 10th August. https://theinvoguelife.com/photo-contest-form
