History Of Deep Chested Jungle of Prides

Lions referred to as 'King of the jungle', are the wild predators, the beast that has been on this planet for over a million years are now on the brink of extinction because of, natural disasters, deforestation, trophy hunting, and others. An estimated only 20,000 to 30,000 are left in the world living in the jungles of Africa and Asia.

India's Gir forest is home to about 674 lions whose population has increased since 2015. However, they are listed as 'critically endangered species' under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.

It was the idea and initiative of Dereck and Beverly Joubert, which began in 2013 to celebrate August 10 as World Lion Day to raise awareness about the safety and security of their habitat. In 2018, the Indian government launched the 'Asiatic Lion Conservation Project' which aims to protect and conserve the world's last-ranging free population of Asiatic Lion.
