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.
I think that in Turkey or Morocco could be reintroduced asiatic lions from zoos (so not necessarily gir lions)...ofc providing that it would be possible to train them to survive (but also gir lions are semi-domesticated). But there are many problems. The basic problem is that (as it seems) no one in these countries wants anything like that (and thats apprehensible).
Kuno: we know that lions coexisted with tigers, resp. tiger ruled the jungles while lions lived in more open areas. So both felids could inhabit different terrain and avoid each other. But would it be possible in Kuno? Would they be able to avoid each other? Id rather say that the confrontation would be inevitable. 900 km2 is not much...
BTW I thought that Rajastan would be suitable country for lions - low population density and no tigers. But apparently there are reasons for not choosing Rajastan...
BTW what is the current situation in the reintroduction project?
