At Devalia, an explanation zone has been established in order to lessen the impact of tourism on the primary sanctuary area and to make it easier for visitors to comprehend the value of Gir and its animals. This entails a 412 ha chain-link enclosed area that encompasses "Gir in a nutshell," encompassing all main Gir wildlife populations and all habitat types.
The main reason for building this facility was to ease visitor pressure on the sanctuary and offer a quick opportunity to watch lions and other animals in their natural habitat. In the form of Spotted Deers, Blue Bulls, Wild Boars, Blackbucks, Sambars, and Chinkaras, the area has a sizable prey base. For a wildlife, seeing a lion in its natural habitat of a savanna is a visual pleasure. The area is also home to a wide range of forest and grassland avifauna. Here, 20–30 Indian vultures frequently come.
