In an effort to upgrade the conservation and protection of the Asiatic lions in the 1,412 square kilometres of the Gir National Park and Sanctuary, a Global Positioning System (GPS) would soon be deployed in the area.
The programme envisages providing the forest department staff with GPS gadgets which would be linked to a Geographical Information System (GIS) interface.
