Gujarat Chief Minister (CM) Bhupendra Patel launched the Sinh Suchna Web application on the occasion of World Lion day.
The purpose of the mobile app is to help the state forest department track the movement of lions to prevent incidents of human-animal conflict.
He also launched two books namely ‘The King of Jungle – Asiatic Lions of Gir’, written by Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer Sakkira Begum and ‘Hu Gir no Savaj’ by Shri Arvind Goswami.
The Asiatic lions comprise the world’s second most population of wild lions after African lions.
In recognition of endangered status on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Red List of threatened species, the Union government has allocated Rs 2,900 crore under Project Lion for the conservation of Asiatic lions.
