Brother, despite the obstacles we should fight for the creation of second home for Asiatic lions and not capitulate. In such cases could be applied the words of Winston Churchill pronounced by him in the face of Nazi invasion in the British isles when England faced the largest danger in her history:

"We shall go on to the end. ... we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

A second home for Asiatic lions must be created. And one day after 50, 80 or 100 years when the ecological and environment consciousness awake in the Middle East and trough Muslim world this majestic beasts maybe will roam again trough all over the Asia - Iran, Turkey, Balkans etc. 

Its wonderful that number of lions in Kathiawar peninsula has reached 600 (I think this data is still unconfirmed and unofficial) but that is not enough because they still represent a single unified population vulnerable to diseases, epidemis, social conflicts and civil wars, nobody knows maybe after 70 or 90 years in Gujarat will be a civil war or war with Pakistan... That's happened before with Virunga national park in Congo or Manas in India where civil wars exterminated all wild animals.

In the article you citated the most important are the last two sentences: "The activist alleged that the BJP government in the state deliberetly climbed down to allow the party-rulled government in Gujarat and Prime minister Narendra Modi to score brownie points ahead of the assembly elections. The MP wildlife board's recommendation WILL CREATE AN IMPRESSION THAT GUJARAT HAS WON THE BATTLE and scuttled translocation to protect its USP, he said" .
So its quite possible that this are only political games before elections. In any way Kuno should be ready to accept lions even after 30 years.

Lions and tigers cannot coexist! They were able to hundreds of years ago, but not anymore! This mustn't happen. Do you need studies and for me to write a damn paper here? Im not against asiatic lions getting new habitats etc.. arent there other reserves besides the ones with TIGERS??? Reply
