Gujarat is a unique state that has many
kinds of habitats. These varied landforms
include dry deciduous forests, majestic
grasslands, wetlands, marine ecosystems
and rich moist deciduous forests. These
habitats are home to some extremely rare
wildlife. The Asiatic Lion is found only
in Gir. The Wild Ass in the Rann of Kutch,
the rare great Indian bustard in the bird
reserves, the world's only four-horned
antelope and the Black Buck are some other
valued species protected in Gujarat. The
dugong and the rare boralia species also
find a safe haven here. |
