Gir Forest Hosts Sole Asiatic Lions

The only population of Asiatic lions resides in Gujarat's Gir Forest National Park in India, making them the world's sole wild lions outside Africa. Efforts to reintroduce them to places like Chandra Prabha and Palpur-Kuno Wildlife Sanctuaries have encountered hurdles, with ongoing debates about relocation. These initiatives aim to establish a secondary habitat to protect against threats like disease outbreaks and ensure the lions' survival.
