Whether this concept of "surplus lion shifting" is that simple & will actually have any effect on Gujarat's lion population or not, has been discussed to death too many times before in several threads including this as well as other threads. Vis-a-vis CDV epidemic, exploding numbers, feasibility... everything!
No point bringing that up again. There's some new updates, posted in Asiatic Lion Reintroduction Project.

Also, in 2020 census both the districts of Rajkot & Surendranagar would be covered. Atleast Gujarat's coexistence machinary is very robust. They have moved 5 dozen foresters in the area, more men than whole national parks in many places, shadowing the pride & holding awareness workshops. Didn't hear anything after that. But in these cases, no news is good news. Reply
