Good News for the day……

The project of translocating few pairs of Asiatic Lions to Barda sanctuary near Porbandar was going ON since many years. Barda is proposed as second home for this last surviving species.

Finally, as the article mentions, four lions will be shifted from Gir to Barda in coming four months. Barda WLS will echo with roars of Asiatic Lions very soon. Forest department has begun its exercise to create suitable environment for the coming members.

It is believed that lions resided Barda in past. After four lions find it suitable, ten more lions will be brought in.
