Explanation:
The proposal was to translocate some lions from Gujarat's Gir Forest National Park to the Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. This was done to establish a second home for the Asiatic lions and ensure their long-term conservation. Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary was chosen for its suitable habitat and protection measures. The translocation aimed to create a new lion population and reduce the risk of a single event affecting the entire species.
