While we have been constantly bombarded with negative news lately surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, something positive occurred in India.

The country’s Asiatic lion population recorded an increase by almost 29 per cent since 2015.

Whoot whoot!

Malay Mail reported that the news was shared by Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi on his Twitter account.

 

Two very good news:

Population of the majestic Asiatic Lion, living in Gujarat’s Gir Forest, is up by almost 29%.

Geographically, distribution area is up by 36%.

Kudos to the people of Gujarat and all those whose efforts have led to this excellent feat.https://t.co/vUKngxOCa7 pic.twitter.com/TEIT2424vF
