Gujarat launches ‘Sinh Suchna’ app for tracking lions

• To celebrate World Lion Day, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel of Gujarat introduced a new mobile application called ‘Sinh Suchna’. The launch event, held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, signifies a significant step towards modern wildlife conservation, enabling both the state’s forest department and the general public to effectively monitor lion movements.
• The ‘Sinh Suchna’ app empowers individuals to directly report lion sightings to the forest department. This innovative approach facilitates real-time tracking and swift conflict resolution.
• The event was also marked by the unveiling of a ‘Lion Anthem’ and the release of two books celebrating Gujarat’s natural heritage. Titled “The King of the Jungle – The Asiatic Lions of Gir” and “Hu Gujarat no Sinh,” these publications pay homage to the state’s rich biodiversity.
• The lion population in Gujarat has now grown to 674, spanning an area of 30,000 square kilometers.
