The Gir forests were constituted into wildlife sanctuary in 1965
and its core area notified as national park in 1975. The protection
thus accorded to the area enhanced the flora and fauna attributes.
However this fame rested largely on its being the last refuge of
Asiatic lion, and the lion shows organized by the forest department
became very popular with the visitors where they could see and
photograph this majestic beast with relative ease. It also made the
Gir, one of the most well-known and visited protected areas in the
country. The lion show came to be seen as an over exposure, causing
apprehensions about animal loosing its natural instincts, and the
shows were stopped in 1988.Tourism receives about 2 million
visitors annually. With this sector, a trend described as nature
tourism and ecotourism. Within the Gir protected area, there are 26
temple complexes where more than 1.5 lakh pilgrims visit annually.
Of these however, only three may be considered the major ones -
Tulsishyam, Kankai, and Banej which together account for most of
the pilgrim traffic in the PA.The current study was to find out the
impact of tourism on Gir PA.
