The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today went on a safari in Gir, well known as home to the majestic Asiatic Lion. In separate posts on X, he wrote: “This morning, on #WorldWildlifeDay, I went on a Safari in Gir, which, as we all know, is home to the majestic Asiatic Lion.
Coming to Gir also brings back many memories of the work we collectively did when I was serving as Gujarat CM. In the last many years, collective efforts have ensured that the population of Asiatic Lions is rising steadily.
Equally commendable is the role of tribal communities and women from surrounding areas in preserving the habitat of the Asiatic Lion.” “Here are some more glimpses from Gir. I urge you all to come and visit Gir in the future.” “Lions and lionesses in Gir! Tried my hand at some photography this morning.”
