Women are endowed with qualities of both courage and care; they can be bold and loving at the same time. This courageous and dedicated all-woman team of wildlife rescuers in India is one such group. They are credited with saving and protecting Asiatic Lions in Gir National Park of Gujarat, India.
The Gir National Park is the last refuge of the endangered Asiatic lions in the wilderness. Also home to various other wildlife species, the forest is one of the most important wildlife-protected areas in the world. In 1965, the Indian government declared it a wildlife reserve to protect the Asiatic lions. Since then, it has started serious rescue operations, and setting up an all-woman-rescuers team is one of them.
