Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Lion Day is celebrated annually on August 10th to raise awareness about the importance of lion conservation and the critical need to protect these majestic animals. As lions play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, this day emphasizes the ongoing efforts to ensure their survival. The global lion population has been declining, with only about 20,000 lions remaining worldwide. In India, the Asiatic lion population, primarily found in the Gir Forest National Park in Gujarat, was recorded at 674 in the 2020 Lion Census.
