The Asiatic lions are the majestic animals of the wildlife, and Gir is the only abode for them. There was a time when these lions were considered the undisputed ruler of the jungle, ruling the wilderness worldwide. Lions are the pride of Gujarat at the same time; the increasing death of lions in Gir is heart-wrenching and deplorable too when the entire world is trying to save the endangered.
There were many investigations held against the cause of lion deaths in the recent past. The rapid decline of lions made the Supreme Court order the Gujarat state government to investigate the real reason behind the deaths. The forest department had submitted a report wherein it was mentioned that the cause for lions' death is infighting, but it was not at all a convincing reason to be granted.
This prompted a person named Varjang Galabhai Karmata, a resident of Junagadh, thought it was the mala fide intention to suppress the real cause of the lion's death and filed a petition to reveal the truth in the High Court of Gujarat. He said that the lions died due to the Babesiosis infection and the procurement of such vaccines by the forest guards and tractors instead of veterinary doctors to treat the big cats against the virus. He requested the high court to reinvestigate the severe issue of declining lions.
