"The problem facing the lion in Gir is space. With territory in short
supply, lions prowl the edges of the forest, often falling into one of
the 8000 uncovered wells surrounding Gir - that are virtual death traps
for the lions. Poaching is another threat - lions are often killed for
their claws. Living in a single park, a single epidemic could mean
extinction for the lion. 'All lions are in one space, if anything were to happen to these
animals it would be a catastrophe,' said Wildlife Conservation
Society-India Program Ravi Chellam." I found this on http://ibnlive.in.com/news/lions-of-gir-indias-most-endangered-big-cat/111422-3.html
THIS IS REALLY BAD! I think we should start an online petition. Anyone any more ideas??
