The Asiatic lion population living in India has increased by 70%, and the land they roam has increased by 15%!  There are nearly1,000 individual lions, which is a staggering increase from the count of 60-80 lions in the 1980s.  Additionally, the range of roaming for the lions has also expanded from 30,000 square kilometers to nearly 35,000 square kilometers.  Read more about this!
