Gujarat itself has many of the very lowest populated regions of India, huge habitats like Kutchh scrublands & Banni grasslands. The Barda relocation is just a lip service, is already being visited by lions and they would settle there by 2020 on their own. (06-14-2019, 09:48 AM)Rishi Wrote: With chinkara gazelle fawn... If what you are saying is correct, then we should expect some of the lions to migrate on their own ... sounds like good news to me ... hopefully the Indian wildlife officials will see it the same way. Scrublands and grasslands sound like great lion habitat areas with enough game to support some prides.
@Sully @jordi6927 @Pckts Now that you've seen each others' responses i'm removing the posts.

Banni was once evaluated for cheetah reintroduction in India... And Rann of Kutchh is one of the last remaining habitats of Kulan wild ass, largest protected area of India. It gets marshy, especially during the monsoon, when the scrubs & saltpans get waterlogged but lions should be able to make do. Anything is better than those mango orchards & cotton fields around Gir they're living in now! Check this link for their present range & metapopulations: 14th Lion Population Estimation Report– 2015. Unlike the smaller forest patches of Barda & Velvadhar, lions have to be artificially released to these massive unused habitats because they're far from Greater Gir. Heres a map of the locations, and you'll find more info in discussions further ahead on this thread;  *This image is copyright of its original author

Over 25 representative lions of as many prides in Gir tagged with radio collars. (<link to interview with further details)
 *This image is copyright of its original author Junagadh, June: More than 25 lions have been fitted with radio collar devices imported from Germany since June 11, CCF Junagadh, D T Vasavada said on Monday. The process is part of a project undertaken by forest department which aims to tag at least one representative big cat of all the 75 lion prides in & immediately around Gir forest, with radio collar device to make their detection and monitoring easy. While 1/3rd of the process is completed, the remaining is likely to get over in a month's time. He said that representatives from entire lion landscape in and around Gir in Saurashtra region of Gujarat spread in the five districts of Gir Somnath, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar and Botad would be radio collared in around another month's time. This will help the forest department in monitoring of the group's movement, research, knowing the territory of the animal and other details. From a control-room in Sasan, a command unit will constantly monitor their location & activities. He also said that as all the members of a pride of lion normally remains within a distance of around half to one kilometer, the location of the representative animal would in fact give the location of an entire pride. During floods and other calamities and spread of diseases etc the radio collars would be a big help for forest teams. The radio collars would also be helpful in letting the lion trackers know if any group of lions was close to the railway track or roads or not. This is the largest project of its kind across the country, where for the first time individuals of a single species are being radio-collared in such a large number.
