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.

Asian lions are being sourced from etawah safari park, UP which were donated by Gujarat govt recently.

They will be held in semi-wild 50 hectare enclosures and their 1st generation progeny will be rewilded before releasing into Kuno NP wilderness.

Along with lions, cheetahs are expected to imported to India next year in which kuno is also a relocation site.

Lone tiger (Noor's bro) living in kuno nearly for a decade returned to Rajasthan. That makes kuno devoid any residential tigers if not drifters.

This truly is welcome news!

This could be done by collecting semen from males at Gir (orzoos around India) and then inseminating a couple of females from the park. This is so they can increase the genetic diversity of the lions used to be rewilded, so they can be stronger and have a more varied gene pool.

Etawah safari park lions are from Gir (Junagadh zoo) stock. They just recieved a bunch of unrelated lions to restart their breeding.

I'm sure other zoo's lions will be introduced later too (don't they'll allow semen collection at Gir for this project one-upping them). Successful rewinding is the first priority right now.
