Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

There is far too much politics involved in this, I personally don't see a relocation attempt working out in India since Kuno is far too close to the tiger territories and If i am not mistaken, there's already a male residing there (T-38 of Ranthambore travelled all the way to Kuno and is now believed to be living in the Park). anything else on the map is taken or occupied by tigers, so India for me is out of the picture. These lions need a new home with a sufficient prey-base and Unfortunately, I don't see many options out there either. Also, "Middle East" is unsafe for the obvious reasons.

here's the map of India along with all the Tiger Reserves, there's really no room for lions to expand. btw, since Gujarat is not shown on that map. Just look at the little area on top of the Arabian Sea. that's Gujarat where Gir National Park is.
