Government Doing Save The Forest

India acts to save Asiatic lion by moving it .1. For over 18 years, conservationists have been attempting to move a pride of Gir lions to the

Kuno sanctuary in the state of Madhya Pradesh. 2. Finally, on 15 April, after eight years of litigation, the Supreme Court of India cleared the

translocation of the lions, though it said an emphatic no to the cheetahs. Now the reluctant Gujarat government is considering filing a review petition, even as angry locals protest the translocation, some even threatening to kill themselves.
