And don't forget most of the world's Bengal Tiger population resided in India.
Yes and its even having religous importance.

I agree. I can for the life of me cannot understand why this reluctance to move some of the tigers to MP.This is heart-breaking! After news of many lions falling to their death in wells in search for water, several more getting killed by Train/Highway traffic, it is high time to move a few of them to MP or any other sanctuary that offers similar environment!
Mr. Modi should really get out of his silly mindset and allow relocation of a few breeding pairs outside the crowded Gir.
This is one aspect of Mr. Modi, that I can't stand!
Has Modi intervened to stop shifting of the animals ?This is heart-breaking!

Anywhere else these lions die. The ones sent to MP died too..
They are all inbreds. Their population was at one point down to 20. We can assume there were some incestuous relations along the way. Introducing African genes defeat the purpose of 'Last Asiatic Lions' (there are lions in Siberia?). I think separating/creating new lion habitats should be enough to create diversification in a matter of 5 generations.Now the biggest problem which these majestic animals face is that of interbreeding. And cat family species surprisingly are very susceptible to vagaries of genetic diversity;
India needs to introduce some gene pool from say siberia or africa among them to stabilise the population.

Oh! Never mindMy response was for both tigers and Lions

No sign of Gir transfer, MP seeks to shift zoo lions to Kuno - The Times of India
I am not aware of any lions relocated to MP in the recent past. All I know is Modi had been sitting on the proposal without acting on it.
One of the major problems in Gir is overcrowding in the primary protected area. That drove many lions to their death by the rail/road traffic, starvation and of course confrontation with local human population outside the sanctuary.
The relocation to MP helps address some of these problems, besides acting as a backup should a deadly disease/disaster wipe out the original population in Gir. And all it takes is only a few breeding prides!
