In the southwest of the peninsular state of Gujarat, lies the 116 square-mile Gir
sanctuary created to protect the last wild population of Lion outside the African
regions. Since 1913 when the Lion population over here fell drastically to just
20 animals, the numbers have increased to around 300.
Flora in Gir National Park
The Gir National Park is a mixed deciduous forest with teak, flame of the forest,
some Acacia and Banyan trees. A distinct belt of vegetation is found along the main
rivers and streams. Species like the Jambu, Karanj, Umro, Vad, Kalam, Charal, Sirus
and Amli are found here. These trees are mostly broad leaved and evergreen, giving
the area a cool shade and the moisture content.
