The Gujarat government has taken measures to protest its extensive wildlife ahead of Cyclone Bipajoy with a "zero-casualty approach". Rescue teams have been strategically positioned in Gir Forest, Narayan Sarovar Sanctuary in Kutch and Mata No Madh, Barda, and Narayan Sarovar.
The endangered Asiatic lions are getting a great deal of attention, with 184 teams under nine divisions and 58 control rooms mobilized for them.
A monitoring team is busy looking into the location and activity of 40 lions in the Gir forest and coastal regions of the state.
The hi-tech monitoring system was developed in anticipation of just such a natural disaster. This system equips selected lions living in groups with radio collars, enabling their movement to be tracked via satellite link by the monitoring cell.
