AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat government remained fierce about its turf, deciding to move Gir lions to Barda Dungar sanctuary in Porbandar. The state has come under fire
over the shocking deaths of 23 of a 26-strong pride of lions, from the
deadly CDV and babesiosis infection outbreak in Gir. Ganpat Vasava, forest and environment minister, said: “We’ve decided
to fast-track the shifting of lions to Barda Dungar. This will be their
second home within the state.”
Barda Dungar is a sprawl of about 343 km and located 80 km from Gir in Porbandar district. Barda along with Kuno Palpur in Madhya Pradesh
and two other sanctuaries were shortlisted as probable second homes for
lions back in 1995. When Supreme Court directed the Gujarat government
to translocate the lions to Kuno Palpur in 2013, Gujrat worked at a
feverish pitch to develop a second habitat to host the lions within
Gujarat. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/gujarat-to-shift-lions-from-gir-to-barda/articleshow/66093394.cms
