World Animal Day, 4th October, 2022
World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare, celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
One of the last about 670 Asiatic lions / Asiatischer Löwe (Panthera leo persica) living in the wild in Gir National Park, Gujarat, India
The lowest number of Asiatic lions was detected during the 1880s when only a few dozen individuals remained in the Gir Forest Sanctuary.
Since then, their population has steadily increased and it shows that protecting historical rangelands of endangered animals can result in extraordinary conservation results.
