Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Rishi]

@Sanju You are definitely a good poster & i hope you keep on contributing good information, but something needs to be made clear.

Whatever your opinions on Gujarat govt's actions are, any criticism must be constructive criticism. This is not a place for venting & borderline racist name-calling.

NEVER repeat this↴ ever again... not here.

Other than that... 

You made a few critical statements which i can't find any sources on. Numbers & statistic cannot be without sources, unless it is widely available on Internet.

Quote:As they already two lions frequently were seen in and out of Barda. there is no translocation to Barda as they are already residing there.

The one i'm most interested in, about whether or not their range has naturally reached close enough to Barda.

Is this a rumour? It is tough to make bodies of 3 dozen dead lions vanish...

Quote:Nearly 300+ lions died from 2016.

Gujarat’s Minister of Forests, Ganpat Vasava informed that the number of lions that died in the state was 104 (24 lions, 47 lionesses, 33 cubs) in 2016 with 12 unnaturals & 80 in (15 lions, 27 lionesses, 38 cubs) 2017 with 20 unnaturals.  

You have any concrete source on this year's net toll?

While it is definitely must have increased from 25000 km² in 2015, any details on where that^ estimate comes from?

Quote:...So overall gir sanctuary+Np has 90-100 lions max now.

Are you quoting that chap from "Khamma Gir Ne" trailer?

Because while every credible source out there says that Gir is saturated with lions, people near the forest might feel that lions are leaving Gir in large numbers... which is what's happening.
Except lions are not abandoning it, but the large number of cubs growing up in there are coming out in hordes. Reply
