DD to telecast special show on gir forests on 8 March

 

NEW DELHI: Doordarshan is set to telecast a special programme in its wild

adventure segment on 8 March.

 

To be screened at 11 am, the programme will showcase the Bedi Brothers

(known for their films on flora and fauna) traveling in a balloon over the

isolated hilly forests of Sasan Gir, home to the last of the Asian Lions or

Gir Lion.

 

The area has a mix of low volcanic rocky hills and open spaces, dominated by

teak, dry-deciduous forest.

 

With the effort and protection of the Forest Department, the number of lions

has increased, though only about three hundred fifty survive today. Some

have moved

 

out of the Sanctuary areas to establish their new home. The Gujarat

Government is trying to provide them protection. There is always the lurking

possibility of an outbreak of disease or drought which could wipe out the

entire species in one merciless stroke.
