VANTARA: ANANT AMBANI'S WILDLIFE CONSERVATION INITIATIVES PROMOTING HARMONY

Some heroes don't wear capes, and some believe that 'the left hand shouldn't know what the right hand is doing.'

These words are often true about the kind-hearted individuals who rescue animals, adopting and sheltering them at no cost. They adopt cats, stray dogs, etc. and change their world. Some wealthy people with kind hearts are lucky to be able to do it on a much larger scale. In recent days, we have been hearing about Anant Ambani's ambitious Vantara wildlife conservation initiative, which aims to save and rehabilitate animals across the globe. Covering 3,000 acres, Vantara is projected to become the largest zoo and wildlife rehabilitation center in India. Situated within Reliance's Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Gujarat, Vantara, meaning 'Star of the Forest,' aspires to enhance animal conservation efforts, promoting harmony and coexistence between humans and wildlife.

How Vantara Rescues and Takes Care of Animals

Inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 26 February 2024, Vantara has tailored facilities for elephants and accommodations for other animals, including a variety of leopards, lions, tigers, and crocodiles. Besides specialized animal enclosures, the center has numerous water bodies, including hydrotherapy pools and an elephant-sized jacuzzi for arthritic elephants.
