Protecting Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest

- There are approximately 500 Asiatic lions left in the Gir Forest of Western India, their last remaining natural habitat. This small population survives in a tiny patch of forest where one disease epidemic or forest fire could wipe them out forever.
Find out how ZSL and its partners the Wildlife Institute of India and the Gujarat Forestry Department are working together to help protect the future of this majestic animal. www.zsl.org/co....
India has both lions 🦁 and tigers in a wild
They also have India Leopard and snow leopard plus the cloudy leopard to many big cats 😰 but amazing animals.

It is wonderful that people are finally getting together to help this last population of lions in India's Gir Forest. I hope folks will get together to help African lions, which are in peril. Numbers are decreasing steadily due to habitat loss, conflicts with indigenous populations, and poaching! Let's save the African lions before it's too late! SAVE THE LIONS!
Katherine Uribe you share my love and passion for lions!!
Hey I have seen you on many lion videos even documentaries.
They are Asiatic lions not African lions
@@dipanshurathore4287 read her comment again . I made the same error lol
british hunted and left india with 20+ lions in 1947..but india increased their population to 520+ now..i think 49% cost for asiatic lion conservation must be demanded from british government..
Yes...also a huge respect to the nawab of junagadh who prohibited the lion hunting...
@@joy3313 it's ok, Britain and India will soon be Islamic countries. You are both finished because you are cowards. USA will prevail
@@Velasca keep dreaming, usa is declining...
@@joy3313 it's ok, Mohammed is coming so you can kiss his backside. Where are your Hindu warriors now? Where are your spiritual lions like Sri Yukteswar?
Most of the asiatic lions were hunted down by local indian rulers. So stop blaming everything to british and accept your own failures too. As for lion conservation cost, don't make begging to others. India has enough resources to protect wildlife.
500 is good but you would think there would be more after all these years! These animals must be protected !!
actually the latest census revealed that the population is about 650 which is very good
Their numbers are still on the rise as we speak
674 in June 2020
@REG.B/0716104019/MAYIL EKATARUNA gir is in gujrat state of india.. they are not even giving few lions to other states like mp where there's a reserve that is more ideal, bigger, suitable for lions than gir and u want india to send these to other countries lol which will never happen as that's make india only country having both tiger and lion.. india agreed to send lions to iran for Asiatic cheetahs but they iran wanted to put them in zoo so india disagreed.. gujrat govt want all the tourism and pride even knowing any virus or pandemic will wipe out all lions.. lions are over populating in gir and roaming around houses still they are not sending to others which is sad
@REG.B/0716104019/MAYIL EKATARUNA agree
Unfortunately, the British killed the last Iraqi pride of lions in 1918.
674 to be precise in June 2020
We cannot talk about conservation without talking about the massive raping and pillaging of Indian & African wildlife done by the British Empire. The British started a whole new industry exporting Lion & Tiger trophies weighing in tonnes to Europe for profit. It is so impressive to see the Indian Govt salvage whatever remnants was left of the Indian Big cat population and turn it around so quickly. Its a miracle the Lion numbers grew from a few dozens in 1947 to around 500 today.
Jai ho. 🔥🦁🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yea woo! Go Wildlife Institute of India! Forest Department of Guajarat and ZSL!
Maine fast time India gir jungle mai so big and beautiful healthy lion dekha hai
Normal gir jungle ke lion bhuat kamjor and hungry se dekhte hai i don’t now why
Please save lion and tiger
God bless 🙏🙏❣️🙏 you Indian great nation protect 🙏 their wild animals thank you
real heroes are ranger who track those lion everyday and inform forest center if any lion is injured or not. They even track their poop and keep track of food wether lion are hungry or not
beautiful.. hopefully there will be some safari lodge in Gir in the near future
Hi ZSL !! Thank you for the video and after the killing of Cecil the Lion and many others its so important to protect the rest of the Lions we have left on the planet !! Happy Easter to all the staff and animals at ZSL and everyone around the world looking after and protecting our animals.Lol from Denise in the uk.🐼🐧🐘🐨🐒🐆🐯🐳🐾🐾😊❤👍
The most beautiful lion.
Probably the Barbary Lion is the most beautiful, but these are beautiful
I wish there were fertility drugs for lions so they can have more lion cubs. This can increase the lion population.
yeah
Any such un natural thing can lead to many issues as well
Wild family helps us in many ways like lions do
They got to move some to another area and start a second population, everybody knows you don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Jay hoo jay mataji 🙏🙏🙏💖💖🌸⚘⚘
Very imformative
Great job
What abt kuno national park???
So when can we expect lions being released into former haunts like in the Middle East and North Africa
Protecting these animals is really a great work , but dnt forget people in that place (giri) alsò need protectiòn dnt avoid that .
Why not release the lions in Sri lanka?
Thay aren't reasing it yet not even in other states.
Sri Lanka never had lions nor it cam sustain any lion population. Lions won't adapt to the environment and even if they does it would be disasterous to the local prey population as they are not adapted to having lion in their wild.
Lions dont live in tropical dense forest, they prefer open Grassland. Tiger is suitable for forest of Sri Lanka.
@REG.B/0716104019/MAYIL EKATARUNA Hey, Gir Forest safari is open for visitors.
@REG.B/0716104019/MAYIL EKATARUNA No I'm a man. I'm sorry I thought it was open for international tourists as well.
how can Canine distemper transfer to lions?
Asiatic lion can be rewilded to the many protected nature reserves in Iran.
We Indians want that only asiatic lions are found in gujarat only and gujarat govt has made it a pride by showing their greediness and gujarat is not letting these lions to be translocated to other states of India where protected areas for lions are already prepared in India lions are not relocated to other states due to gujarat govt bad politics how it can be relocated to Iran.
How about protecting Asiatic Cheetah first? Because I'm sure once the Lions are moved to Iran, they will kill the left over Asiatic Cheetahs.
@@srikanthsidd9959 Yes
How about protecting Asiatic cheetah. They r cute and when we wanted cheetah u demanded Lions from us if u cant even protect them how we can give u lions. If u want Wild animal to besaved iran has to give us Cheetahs
Iran should and must save Asiatic cheetah😢🙏
Be careful Record key date Field
