The first ever Global Tiger Day, celebrated at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in 2010 got people talking about tigers – about how they need our protection, how tiger habitats need to be expanded and how more people need to talk about these magnificent animals to support their conservation.

This year too, on Global Tiger Day, we’re asking you to join the conversation – and to share your first tiger sighting using #MyTigerStory
