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.

This will come under lack of management of the Forest department of that particular state(every state or area has these type of problems not special for Gujarat). not Providing animals forests to live freely when there are no forests which are protected is an excuse but even when potential sites available not leaving them to live freely? What is this? (at least in its own country, leave about other countries).
You might encourage Gujarat's monopoly. but its wrong.

Yes, that's what i'm saying.

Protecting & managing the exploding main population is a lot greater challenge that's needs long term planning.
I'd encourage Gujarat to think beyond Barda & consider every other possible habitat within the state to move as many lions as possible from its farms & fields... That's not the same as encouraging monopoly.

Also, make it a habit to bookmark & save links.
In future any piece data that cannot be traced to its source will be deleted. Opinions can be personal, information cannot.

This was actually discussed before you joined, somewhere ahead in this thread i think.

If the relocation is done well with their numbers increasing to a healthy extent, then the new population/s will have enough genetic variety to carry on in few decades time. No problems then.

But if it happens how i think Gujarat might try to make it happen, then MP will be given some of its most inbred & genetically weakest stock! 
In that case, they may not even last few decades.

That's the reason i think forcing Gujarat won't work...
Better to first break their monopoly by rewilding zoo lions (hundreds to choose from outside Gujarat) & exchange tigers for more lions. That way Gujarat can have a very good tiger population too, with both Rajasthan & MP tigers!
