Gir national Park: Established on 18thSeptember, 1965 as a forest Reserve, primarily to conserve the Asiatic lion classified as one of the world’s most threatened species. Now Gir National Park is only remaining place in the world, where one is likely to see the Asiatic lion. The sanctuary covers a total area of 1,412 sq. km of which 258 sq. km at the core forms the national park. Permits are required to enter this part of the sanctuary. The Asiatic lion once had a wide range in natural territory running from NW India through Persia to Arabia. But unfortunately hunted as a coveted trophy item during the British Raj era, it is now only found in the Gir Forest of Gujarat. The Famine of 1899 so decimated the Asiatic lion population that Lord Curzon cancelled his shoot at Gir, where he was staying as the guest of Nawab Jaunagadh. Curzon persuaded the Nawab to protect the remaining lions. In 1965, the India Government declared this place as a National Park. The lion population which had sunk to an alarming two dozen in the early 20thcentury has slowly climbed over the years since, and now numbers about 300.
