There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

See, it was never a viable plan. Here's why:

1. People don't do charity. MP has never even showed any interest in proposing an exchange lions for tigers to release in Gujarat's old tiger landscapes. Check #1,280 for more...

2. Out of 650 lions, 400 live in the 2000km² odd Protected Areas, rest are spread over 20000km² of unprotected semi-habitat. That high competition, important for genetic purification, would be absent in MP.

Thus, for the Relocation-Project to succeed, they would have to shift atleast 50 completely unrelated lions. Gujarat's Forest officers (who come from all over India) predicted that & resisted.

3. @paul cooper Maybe they can coexist, with limited conflict. 
Or, maybe one party will push the other out depending on the vegetation pattern. It'll be knaive to risk EITHER, not this early.

4. @Wolverine (This one is personal opinion) I'd have tigers in Kuno-Palpur any day over lions. It's not just about the Ranthambore population. It's about connecting the whole "Western India Tiger Landscape" to rest of Central-India. 
PS: I'll make a detailed, seperate post on it elsewhere & tag you.

5. MP doesn't really have a great record as far as poaching is concerned.

In the state tigers are in right now, they absolutely cannot coexist in anyway.
There will be a lot of conflict due to the lack of prey.. its the female tigers that are the main problem. If tigresses mortality rates increase in the status they are in now (low breeding rates due to many factors caused by humans) tigers will be ......
