Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat, India, is globally renowned as the last and only abode of the Asiatic Lion (*Panthera leo persica*). While it also hosts other wildlife and birds, its primary fame comes from its successful conservation of the Asiatic Lion population.

– Gir National Park is specifically known for conserving the Asiatic Lion.
– Other wildlife parks in India are famous for different species (e.g., Kaziranga for One-horned Rhinoceros, Ranthambore/Corbett for Tigers).

The Asiatic Lion population in Gir had dwindled to very low numbers in the early 20th century but has significantly recovered due to conservation efforts. It is now the only wild population of Asiatic lions in the world.
