Detailed Solution & Logic
Asiatic Lion / एशियाई शेर
📘 Explanation
Gir Forest located in Gujarat is the only natural habitat in the world where the Asiatic Lion lives in the wild.
Earlier, Asiatic lions were found across many parts of Asia and India, but due to hunting and habitat loss, their population declined sharply. Conservation efforts by the Indian government helped protect them, and today Gir Forest remains their last natural refuge.
📘 व्याख्या
गुजरात राज्य का गिर वन दुनिया का एकमात्र प्राकृतिक स्थान है जहाँ एशियाई शेर प्राकृतिक रूप से पाए जाते हैं।
पहले एशियाई शेर एशिया और भारत के कई क्षेत्रों में पाए जाते थे, लेकिन शिकार और आवास नष्ट होने के कारण उनकी संख्या बहुत कम हो गई। भारत सरकार के संरक्षण प्रयासों से आज गिर वन उनका सुरक्षित प्राकृतिक निवास बना हुआ है।
