As part of the pre-summit "Lion Species Spotlight Event" of the 1st International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit 2026, which protected area in Gujarat was chosen to showcase the conservation of the world's only wild population of Asiatic lions?
Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary
Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat holds the only wild population of the Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) in the world and was chosen as the venue for the pre-summit 'Lion Species Spotlight Event' of the 1st International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit 2026.
Vansda, Marine and Velavadar national parks in Gujarat conserve different flagship species (moist deciduous forest, marine ecosystems and blackbuck respectively) and are not the home of the wild Asiatic lion.
Hence, the answer is Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary.
