The Asiatic Lion is classified as one of the most endangered mammals in India. There are just 360 of them left in the wild.Once the king of the forests, today he stands in 
need of protection. The Asiatic Lion ( Panthera leo persica) survive today only in the Gir Forest of Gujarat.The Asiatic Lion once roamed Asia from Palestine to India . Over the many years they were wiped out throughout their range mainly due to habitat alteration and hunting.The space at Gir is not sufficient to support a large number of lions and also they are surrounded by human habitation.
The Asiatic Lion is a social animal. Generally they live in a small pride comprising one to three males and one to four females with their young ones.
One interesting method is to recognize them individually by markings on their faces, as well as counting and noting down the arrangement of their whisker-spots.
A lot of steps need to be taken to save this elegant,tough and finite species...please....

The lack of proper planning of rehabilitation of maldharis are also adding to the woes. An integrated approach has to be planned by the govt to overcome this problem. We want our king of the jungle to be protected
