Sol.
The 7th meeting of the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) was chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and was held at the Gir National Park, located in Gujarat. Gir is the only natural habitat of the Asiatic lions and holds significant ecological and conservation value for the country.
Holding the NBWL meeting in Gir emphasized the government’s focus on wildlife conservation and the protection of endangered species. It also highlighted the importance of field-based governance, where decisions on wildlife are taken in proximity to critical habitats. The presence of the Prime Minister as the chairperson underscored the national importance of the issues discussed, including proposals for conservation projects, protected areas, and ecological safeguards.
