Relocation of healthy lions from gir forest

The Issue

The lions in the gir forest have been affected by the canine distemper virus and have been dying. Similar virus outbreaks in the the near future can wipe out the Asiatic lions since gir is the onle place where they exist

This virus wiped out 30% of the african lions during the 1990s in tanzania

Gujarat government hasn't given a proper explanation for the death of around 10 lions and this is quite serious since less than 600 Asiatic lions remain in the wild. They have refused to relocate the lions in the past

So join hands and sign this petition to save panthera leo
