"The Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) also known as the Indian lion, Persian lion and Eurasian Lion^[2][3][4] is a subspecies of lion. The only place in the wild where the lion is found is in the Gir Forest of Gujarat, India.^[5][6] In 2010, the Gujarat government reported that 411 Asiatic lions were sighted in the Gir forest; a rise of 52 over the last census of 2005.^[7]

The Asiatic lion is one of the five major big cats found in India, the others being the Bengal tiger, the Indian leopard, the snow leopard and clouded leopard.^[8] The Asiatic lions once ranged from the Mediterranean to the north-eastern parts of the Indian subcontinent, but excessive hunting, water pollution and decline in natural prey reduced their habitat.^[9] Historically, Asiatic lions were classified into three kinds – Bengal, Arabian and Persian lions.^[10] Asiatic lions are smaller and lighter than their African counterparts, but are equally aggressive."

"The Indian economy is the world's ninth-largest economy by nominal GDP and fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialized country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and inadequate public health. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks tenth in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union territories. It is one of the five BRICS nations. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats."

10 Ways For Female Entrepreneurs To Get Funded | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and innovation

My comment:

The content of this article should have been MORE meaningful.

I want other ideas than common sense knowledge.

Don't tell me stuff I already know, and vague advice.

Give me specific "tips and tricks", actionable intelligence, "news I can use".

Or unorthodox ways of looking at the problem, to solve it.

Give me info about people, companies, websites that can really be used as resources, in a very practical way, TODAY.
