The Gir Inheritance
The Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, home to the last Asiatic lions, stands as India’s pride – a testament to the power of conservation at a time when climate instability threatens us all. Sanctuary believes that this dry deciduous haven will continue to draw large numbers of visitors from India and overseas. Our task now is to ensure that ecotourism is so managed as to turn it into a powerful conservation tool, capable of offering livelihoods and opportunities to communities, while serving as a vital wilderness, carbon bank, and climate moderator for future generations. The biodiversity-rich forest depicted between the covers of the Sanctuary Nature Foundation’s latest coffee-table offering ‘The Gir Inheritance’ has a value that far exceeds superficial aesthetics. The lucidly crafted words and the breathtaking images bring to life Gir's history, rewilding efforts, and chapters dedicated to conservation, flora and birds, to name just some highlights of the book. Dive into this treasure trove of natural history that offers a glimpse into Gir’s rich natural heritage.
