If all goes to plan, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) will soon get a pair of lions from Gujarat. A senior forest department official from Maharashtra said, “The Maharashtra Forest Department has sent a proposal to the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) to obtain two captive lions from Gujarat in return for two captive tigers from SGNP. We anticipate that the CZA will approve the proposal shortly, following which the animal exchange programme will be completed.”
Sources told mid-day that the process is likely to be approved soon and the pair of captive lions might come to SGNP before the monsoon.
