    Gir lions are in urgent need of partial relocation (relocation of part of the original population) but Gujarat will not allow it for fear of loosing monopoly over the lions

    Truth be told only rural Indians can accept carnivorous apex predators in their vicinity despite poverty and other hardships on other hand just look at many "civilized" western nations which have totally culled their native predator populations centuries ago in the name of development, safety, safety of cattle etc.

      ​@@LostinMangoIn rural regions wild animals can create fear & havoc and every human life is precious no denying still just compare how many Indians died due to animal attacks vs how many lost their lives due to murders, ra*pes, armed criminals, terrorism, avoidable accidents etc you will quickly realize Humans are infact the most dangerous animals...like you have more chance of getting hit by some reckless motorbiker than a Lion/Tiger attack.

      That happened centuries ago whe n human awareness was at it's lowest. Since then so many conservation programs have been set up across the world and western population has actually decreased - immigration is the main reason for population growth in those countries unlike India. Local population growth must be controlled else no spave will be left for these wild animals.

    Our government should take serious action on the conservation of this species, over population can be tackled by relocating some individuals to other sanctuary in the country, and so a seperate population can be established in the country again, we have so many wildlife sanctuaries in our country, don't they deserve a pair of the majestic and rare asiatic lions

    This is heartwarming 💖 ... it is indeed remarkable how even with so much poverty the rural population is so cooperative and tolerant of the human-lion conflict.. hard to see this even in western developed nations, take europe for example a small spike in wolf population will trigger a protest by farmers to cull..
