Recently there was a proposal to translocate some of the lions from their natural habitat in Gujarat to which one of the following sites ?

1. The question asks about the proposed site for the translocation of Asiatic lions from their only natural habitat in Gir, Gujarat. 2. The purpose of this translocation project, ordered by the Supreme Court of India, is to establish a second free-ranging population to safeguard the species against potential threats like disease outbreaks or natural disasters in Gir. 3. After evaluating various potential sites, the Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary (now Kuno National Park) in Madhya Pradesh was identified as the most suitable location for establishing this second population. 4. Corbett National Park and Sariska National Park are primarily known as tiger reserves. 5. Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and not the designated site for lion translocation. 6. Therefore, Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary is the correct answer.
