The history behind the Gir National Park

Until the early 19th century, the Asiatic lions were found all across the south and west Asia. Within Gujarat, indiscriminate hunting by the people of Junagadh led to a drastic decrease in population, even as they were completely wiped out from Asia’s other parts.

The nawab took the first and foremost adjourning journey of saving the lions. A mammoth effort made possible by the Nawab’s and the Indian Government’s post-Independence, ban on lion killing in 1955. It got its name as a national park in 1965; this picturesque biodiversity, the Gir National Park is the only place in the whole world where you can find the majestic lions roaming freely in their natural habitat.
