TRANSLOCATING LIONS FROM GUJARAT TO M.P. WILL BE DISASTROUS !!!
“If it was told that there is one forest/park and all the Lions of India are there in this park and any epidemic can wipe all of them out – you would also say, that some lions need to be translocated” We too thought so, until we got deeper into it to understand how certain facts are misrepresented, ignored and covered up for the benefit of ....... We try bringing the facts on the table for the conservation and well being of the Asiatic Lions !!!
