<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Bhavnagar Amreli Forest''' is a reserved area for conservation of [[Asiatic lion]]s. The new location is east side of [[Gir National Park]] in [[Amreli district]] of [[Gujarat]]. After inclusion of New Jesal sanctuary the area of this forest will go to 1600&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> which is bigger than [[Gir National Park|Gir sanctuary]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131102134703/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2006-03-19/ahmedabad/27789455_1_gir-sanctuary-asiatic-lions-mitiala New sanctuary for lions to come up at Jesar]</ref> The Gujarat state government insisted on shifting the lions to this forest claiming that lions were pride of Gujarat. However the [[Government of India|central government]] is pressuring Gujarat state government to shift some lions in [[Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary]]. There are almost 110 lions outside the protected area in Gir forest. A pride of about 20 lions will be introduce in three different area in this forest. A large number of lions have been wiped out of [[Tanzania|Tanzania's]] [[Serengeti National Park]].
