A new wildlife sanctuary should be set up along the Shetrunji River in Amreli and Bhavnagar districts to increase the protected area for the growing population of Asiatic lions in the Saurashtra region and the limits of the Purna Wildlife Sanctuary be extended – these were key suggestions by two members of the Gujarat State Board for Wildlife (GSBWL) at a meeting this week.
