6. Recommendation:
Gir National Park is one of the famous wildlife
sanctuary for the Asiatic lion in all over the world.
After Africa, It is the second lion reservoir where the
lions are free live their life.
And one of the most important thing is that the lions
are living around human activates so the lions are
killing the cows and buffaloes of the villagers.
In Gir forest there are several villages are present so
the villagers are completely depends upon the
Forrest, which is not good for the wildlife activity.

7.  Due to the human activity, the lions always come to the
road & always traveling one village to another village for
which the villagers are felling unsafe for their kids.
 Also human activity hurts the living environment of the wildlife in Gir

8. Conclusion:
Balance in Ecosystem is necessary for the survival
of human beings too.
Plants and animals are beautiful gifts of god so we
should care of them as much as we do for
ourselves.
