A Tapestry of History and Conservation

Gir’s legacy is rooted in human foresight and compassion. In the early 20th century, the Nawabs of Junagarh played a pivotal role in protecting the last surviving lions on their private lands. This noble act laid the groundwork for future conservation, culminating in the sanctuary’s official establishment in 1965. Today, Gir stands as a living monument to India’s enduring commitment to wildlife preservation and ecological stewardship.
