    Explanation:

    Recently, the Gujarat government said they are not in favour of translocating Asiatic Lions to Madhya Pradesh.

    • The Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary in Barkheda, MP is selected to translocated the Asiatic lion from Gir National Park, Gujarat.
    • At present Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is the only abode of the Asiatic lion.
    • They are listed in Schedule I of Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, in Appendix I of CITES and as Endangered on IUCN Red List.

    Hence both statements are incorrect.
