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.

Everybody here knows how nature works. You don't have to keep affirming the same reasons again & again... it's becoming tiresome.
But consider how the society works!

Should it be? Definitely not...
Would it be? Apparently yes...
Quote:It is always an appreciable move for Lions to establish a separate gene pool in different region with that area's natural selection pressures bringing adaptations.
Even if they are 24*7*365(6) injected with vaccines and medicines and rescued in multi specialty rescue operation centers, fed with nutritious diet and gifted that no natural disaster can cause harm or damage and are completely safe from extinction, it is still great to populate them in other places, after all increasing their numbers in their own range is never bad, nobody can deny that.
Wolves even being least concern species is still reintroduced in their lost range not only for their benefit. It is for the role they play in ecological diversity to maintain those ecosystems. Likewise, for the Lion. If we don't have chance to do that, we can leave it, but even having chance of their revival and support from scientists, organisations, committees, panels, court and willing and spending govt to do so, holding back is hazardous for this long (a century since their local extinctions inc cheetah).
The more their sub populations are separated by distance, the more the subspecies is far from extinction and the better the future is secured in long term survival. Nothing like [Gujarat is equal to Lion].
If you write them the above (very sensible & factually correct) stuff petitioning them "to do the right thing", they're simply gonna shove it aside.
But this alternative could work... if they can be made to see it as an way out to stall the Kuno relocation (you understand they are gonna keep trying, don't you?) As recent incidents keep building pressure on them, with this they can claim; We already are relocating lions to two large former habitats of Kutchh & Banni.
Intrastate relocation is better than no relocation.
And whoever tells you Interstate-or-nothing is more concerned about his/her ego than the future of Asiatic lions.
