Asiatic Lion Reintroduction Project

[Brehm]

I do not quite agree with the second part... @Vinay

Yes India has many rare and unique animals. On Paper. They live in the same country, but most likely dont share the same habitat.
Lets say someone wants to see asian lions. Fine, he visits Gir, but if he also plans to see one horned rhino's and wild water buffalo's, he has to travel thousands of km to Kaziranga on the other end of India. Thats not what we call a relaxing vacation at all in my opinion. Especially if we consider indian infrastructure.

Thats the big advantage of many famous african national parks like Kruger, Etosha, Serengeti etc. Most of them got the big five and many other species in the same area. Quality and Quantity in one place.
India got quality spread over the whole country. That doesnt has to be a disadvantage, visiting niches can be also a great experience. Something like eco - triangle tours (based on the "golden triangle") covering some of those niches could be a good idea. Like pckts own kanha - pench - Tadoba (?) triangle trip (correct me if im wrong).



According to the topic, i still think introducing lions into tigerless national parks or even empty tiger reserves could be a alternative and rational solution. Kuno is already occasionaly used by tigers as corridor.
