Asiatic Lions Sasan Gir National Park Wildlife Junagadh District News

Here it’s really good news for all natural lovers especially from Gujarati of Garva Gujarat that, proposal of Union minister for forest and environment Jairam Ramesh's offer for tigers in lieu of lions likely to reject by Narendra Modi Gujarat Government.

Main reason was behind that the neighboring state Madhya Pradesh would walk away with all its tourists who come to Gujarat to see the Asiatic lions in and around Gir National Park.

Every year Gir Forest and Devalia national park visited by Over one lakh domestic and international visitors. Retired wildlife official GA Patel said that "Gujarat will have to strongly oppose the transfer on technical grounds.

The state has a strong point as tiger and lions cannot stay together". Sanat Chauhan, another wildlife veteran, said, "Tourism in Gujarat would be affected as MP just wants to create a small lion safari which would be a big draw." Madhya Pradesh already has tigers in Kanha, Bandhavgarh and other sanctuaries.

If Gujarat Government accept this offer than as per mine opinion as one Kathiyavadi from Saurashtra, we surely have lost!!
