 The Hindu Business Line : Gir lions squeeze out an existence
Going by a Gujarat Government publication, The Gir, given to us by P.P. Raval, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Gir National Park & Sanctuary, the total population of lions as per 2000 census (a census takes place every five years) is put at 327, against 304 in 1995 and 284 in 1990.
At present, there are 4 to 5 satellite lion populations outside Gir in Girnar, Mitiala and coastal forests." The forest authorities are trying to develop these new areas including the Rajula-Porbandar stretch, but illegal and legal mining by cement companies and others are making it difficult.
This indicates that population of lions in the Gir has reached the carrying capacity of park and sanctuary area.
