"The recent census revealing that India’s wild lion population has increased to 891 is overshadowed by child safety concerns and human-animal conflicts that remain unresolved."
"The lion population on the rise, now totaling 891, has prompted conservation efforts, including a focus on Barda Wildlife Sanctuary as an alternative habitat, yet challenges persist."
India’s wild lion population has increased to 891, marking a 32% rise since 2020, according to a recent census from Gujarat. While the count shows success in conservation efforts, particularly in the Gir forest and emerging satellite populations, concerns regarding human-animal conflict persist. The census highlights 497 lions in satellite populations, exceeding the core Gir population for the first time. However, recent incidents, including a lion attack resulting in a child's death, underscore the need for effective management strategies to ensure safety and the future of lion conservation in India.
