IT WAS a day of learning and awareness about tigers for many people as they took part in various activities in conjunction with Global Tiger Day at Bulatan Amanjaya in Meru, last weekend.

Global Tiger Day was established at the 2010 St Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia as a way to create awareness on the alarming information that 97% of the world’s tiger population has already been lost.
