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.

Quote:Gujarat has announced a range of new initiatives for the conservation of the Asiatic lions.
  • The project includes setting up a veterinary hospital and 8 rescue centres.
  • A special ambulance service to be available all over their range.
  • They also plan ramp up surveillance near Gir forest during night using strategically placed CCTV camera network, to tackle illegal lion shows, on the lines of Corbett TR's successful E-eye.
  • 33 Rapid Response Teams with be created for taking quick reactions on complaints & tipoffs on illegal activities.
  • A 24-hour helpline, for getting vital information from the public about lions, will also be launched soon.
  • To increase the prey base for lions, 4 new breeding centres for prey animals to be created.
  • 100 more 'trackers' would be recruited to fill the staff-vacancies of Gir & keep an eye on lions.
  • 120 veterinary experts and technicians will be recruited.
  • Degraded rangelands would be converted to grasslands for lions & their prey.

24hr hotline, better informer network, CCTV surveillance, reaction teams etc. should do the trick. 

Even developing habitat patches all over Bruhad-Gir & prey breeding may be just the right incentive needed for the lions to spend more time away from people's property.

Its more looking like investment. Yes, its definitely very good for lion conservation in their particular pocket but besides lions getting benefit, other side of coin getting more benefit towards monopoly than lions (IMO).
