 WILDLIFE OF GUJARAT

According to the India State of Forest Report 2011, Gujarat has 9.7% of its total geographical
area under forest cover.[188] As per the districts, The Dangs has the largest area under forest
cover. Gujarat has four national parks and 21 sanctuaries. It is the only home of Asiatic lions and
outside Africa, is the only present natural habitat of lions.[189] Gir Forest National Park in the
southwest part of the state covers part of the lions' habitat. Apart from lions, Indian leopards
are also found in state. They are spread across the large plains of Saurashtra and the mountains
of South Gujarat. Other National parks include Vansda National Park, Blackbuck National Park,
Velavadar and Narara Marine National Park, Gulf of Kutchh, Jamnagar.

GIR NATIONAL PARK AND WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, ALSO
KNOWN AS SASAN GIR, IS A FOREST, NATIONAL PARK, AND
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY NEAR TALALA GIR IN GUJARAT,
INDIA. IT IS LOCATED 43 KM (27 MI) NORTH-EAST OF

NATIONAL PARK AND 1,153 KM2 (445 SQ MI) AS WILDLIFE
SANCTUARY.[1] IT IS PART OF THE KHATHIAR-GIR DRY
DECIDUOUS FORESTS
 FLORA OF GUJARAT
The natural vegetation of the state is proscribed to area
unit as that acquire ample downfall and are at the similar
time agriculturally sterile. Toughness of ground and stony
skinny soils has completed some components of the state
inappropriate for cultivation. Such areas, once serious
downfall occur it supports the enlargement of forests.
The plants like crops don't contain to achieve adulthood
and bear fruits in but a year.
 CONSERVATION IN GUJARAT
(VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE)

The State of Gujarat is situated on the western coast of India. This region is
mostly arid and semi arid with a vast coastline of about 1600 km. Diverse
geo-physical and eco-climatic features of the maritime state of Gujarat
having long coastline, merging of major mountain systems of India viz. The
Aravali, Vindhyas, Satpuda and Sahyandri [Western Ghats] have given rise
to diverse ecosystems including various types of Forests, Grasslands,
Mangroves, water bodies, wetlands, arid deserts, saline deserts, etc.
THE DIVERSE ECOSYSTEMS, EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY, TRANS-
CONTINENTAL MIGRATION OF SPECIES IN THE PAST, LOCATION
EN-ROUTE TO THE ANNUAL MIGRATION OF SPECIES AND LONG
CONSERVATION EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE OF GUJARAT HAVE
GIVEN RISE TO THE RICH BILOGICAL DIVERSITY.

THE PA NETWORK OF THE STATE OF GUJARAT COMPRISES OF 28 PAS

INCLUDING 23 SANCTUARIES, 4 NATIONAL PARKS AND 1
CONSERVATION RESERVE HAVING TOTAL AREA OF 16619.81 SQ.KM.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF GUJARAT IS ONLY 5.9% OF THE TOTAL
AREA OF INDIA, IT CONTRIBUTES 11.37% (17099.93 SQ. KM.).
