Detailed Solution

Concept: The term "sanctuary" refers to a location where threatened or extinct animals are kept in order to live in safety from other species. Animals are left in the area even when other construction or works are not permitted there.
The Gir Lion Reserve, a lions-only wildlife sanctuary, is situated in Gir, Gujarat. It is close to Talala, a city. The primary reason for building and establishing this sanctuary is to stop and save the extinction of Asiatic lions. The Gir Lion Sanctuary was established in 1972 to preserve these lions and prevent their extinction. There are around 523 lions in this sanctuary, comprising 106 male lions, 201 female lions, and 213 cubs.
