Gir National Park in Gujarat, India is the only place in the world where Asiatic Lions are found today. In 2007, Gir also became the only national park in India which has a team of female forest guards. Working hand in hand with their male counterparts, the female guards like 25 year old Kiran Pathija or Rasila Vadher have shown to the world it is easy to break old traditions if you have the willingness and the determination.
