It’s International Tiger Day

Get our your tiger stripes out because July 29th is International Tiger Day. 
When we protect tigers we also protect other endangered species like Asian elephants and greater-one horned rhinos.
In this politically diverse region tiger conservation encourages cross-border collaboration on environmental issues, benefitting biodiversity.

There are thousands of tiger stamps and 2022’s Year of the Tiger created a lot of magnificent designs from around the world. My favourites are still Viet Nam’s contribution to the Lunar New Year.
