Gandhinagar: Aligning with the vision of World Wildlife Day 2025, themed 'Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet,' Project Lion is a transformative initiative dedicated to conserving and expanding the Asiatic lion population, ensuring their long-term survival through strategic habitat management and community participation.
The foundation of Project Lion was laid on Independence Day, August 15 2020, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address from the Red Fort, underscored the government's commitment to securing the future of Asiatic lions through community involvement, technology-driven conservation, wildlife healthcare, proper habitat management, and human-lion conflict mitigation.
