- First meeting of State Wildlife Board in Kamal Nath MP Government's rule in on 11th.

The first meeting of the State Wildlife Board constituted under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Kamal Nath is going to be held in the ministry on 11 October. The issue of bringing the Asiatic Lion from Gujarat's Gir and the report of the technical Committee submitted to the government regarding making Ratapani Sanctuary a tiger reserve will arise in this meeting.

Although both these points have not been included in the agenda of the meeting, the officials of the Wildlife Wing are preparing the information when the issue is discussed in the board meeting. Forest Minister Umang Singhar has said several times before that the Gir lion will be brought to Kuno Palpur.

Wildlife wing officials will brief the Chief Minister on the efforts being made for 27 years to bring the lions.

We will inform you about the correspondence of the lion shifting and the Gujarat government so far and the relationship of Kuno Palpur Park prepared for the lions.
It will also mention what formalities have been completed to bring the lions here.

Quote:In the meeting, this strategy can be made whether the state government goes to the center or the Supreme Court to bring the lion from Gujarat.

In the meeting, the management plan prepared for 526 tigers of the state will also be placed before the board. During this time, the suggestions given by the board members will also be included in the plan.

Elephants from other states will be decided
Recently, 65 wild elephants have come to Bandhavgarh National Park through the forests of Balaghat from Chhattisgarh. Problems with these wild elephants will also be discussed in the Wildlife Board meeting.

In respect of wild elephants, the board will also get an agreement on whether to show the way out to these elephants or to prepare an action plan to keep them there.
If the board does not allow these elephants to drive outside the state limits, proposals for requesting special packages from the central government for their habitat-development will be discussed with the board. The name of the state will also be considered for inclusion in the Elephant project run by the Center.
