Like you (@Rishi ) said before "Lesser Rann of Kutchh is also a good place but I don't understand why experts didn't suggest that over Barda". May be due to water scarcity, dry and hot climate even though it had some prey base. I know that Lions "survived" and surviving in deserts including 'once' kutchh but still they might have considered this point as deciding factor to select and analyze perfect habitat for Asiatic lions...

Well i read your post #415 in the relocation project thread.

If a Parliamentary Panel did recommend that experts be consulted for exploring the option of shifting some of the lions in nearby sanctuaries outside the state. So they'll be more inclined do so so within the state to counter that.

And frankly Gujarat has some of the most perfect lion landscape in the country.
(Not so) Little Rann actually has pretty varied vegetation pattern, from sun-baked saltpans to scrub to scorched grasslands to small wetlands.

Not to mention the largest grassland in India, the Banni Grasslands Reserve of 3850 sq.km
