Gujarat rejects Wildlife Institute of India, camera traps for lion census

Himanshu Kaushik | TNN | Updated: Mar 12, 2020, 16:35 ISTGANDHINAGAR: In Gujarat, where lion population is widely speculated to have touched the 1,000-mark, Lion Census 2020 was pegged to be different.
It was proposed to be more tech-driven with use of 3,000 camera traps and supervised by the prestigious Wildlife Institute of India. A month and half ahead of the big exercise, Gujarat has reportedly rejected both WII and technology to know the exact headcount of its coveted population of Asiatic lions in Gir and its periphery.
