Project Lion could displace Maldharis within Gir to create ‘inviolate space’ -Ishan Kukreti

-Down to Earth

The proposal seeks to relocate 2,500 families of the community from the Gir protected area within 10 years

Maldharis, a traditional pastoral people found in and around the Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, might end up being uprooted from their homes, if the Project Lion proposal takes shape, a Down To Earth (DTE) investigation has shown.

The proposal, created by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and the Gujarat forest department, talks of creating ‘an inviolate space of 1,000 square kilometres’ (sq km).   

Inviolate spaces are areas free from anthropomorphic pressures. Resource extraction of forest produce like fuel wood, fodder and minor forest produce as well as human habitation are not allowed in such places.

Project Lion was launched by Narendra Modi August 15, 2020. DTE has accessed the proposal document.
