Anant Ambani Rescued Over 2000 Animals Inside Vantara

Anant Ambani rescued Over 2000 animals including tigers and elephants inside Vantara. The Vantara ecosystem, which is dotted throughout the green belt of Reliance’s Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Gujarat, is made up of two main components: the “Green Zoological Rescue & Rehabilitation Center,” which is home to over 2,000 animals representing 43 species, and the 3,000-acre Elephant Center, which is home to over 200 rescued elephants.

Nine-year-old leopard Deva was a hunting victim who spent two days stuck in a metal wire snare, where he suffered severe injuries and a neck infection. A group of veterinarians and specialists from Vantara raced to the scene after receiving word from the forest department, treating the leopard for many days until it fully recovered.

Following her treatment, Deva is among the more than 2,000 animals that the Reliance Foundation revealed on Sunday have undergone rehabilitation to become a member of the Vantara animal ecosystem.

Anant Ambani, a director on the boards of RIL and the Reliance Foundation, is the pet project behind the Vantara program, which is a comprehensive program for animal rescue, care, conservation, and rehabilitation. “We are committed to preserving India’s natural species that are seriously endangered. Anant Ambani told reporters on Sunday, “We also want to establish Vantara as a leading-edge conservation program, restore important habitats, and address urgent threats to species.”

With Vantara, Anant’s initial passion—which began when he was still knee-high to a grasshopper—has evolved into a mission. The Vantara ecosystem, which is dotted throughout the green belt of Reliance’s Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Gujarat, is made up of two main components: the “Green Zoological Rescue & Rehabilitation Center,” which is home to over 2,000 animals representing 43 species, and the 3,000-acre Elephant Center, which is home to over 200 rescued elephants.

The animal exchange programs were only implemented with the prior consent of the Central Zoo Authority and the Chief Wildlife Wardens of the corresponding states, in accordance with the guidelines established by the 2009 zoo rules and the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.

In an effort to raise public awareness of conservation issues, the non-profit elephant center will remain closed to the public while its rescue and rehabilitation center will welcome educational institutions. Anant Ambani claims that construction is already underway on a 500-acre zoological park that would eventually be accessible to the general public.

Anant Ambani’s Vantara: Elephant Centre

Over 200 injured or rescued elephants from dreadful circumstances, such as circuses, roam the vast expanses of the 3000-acre forest with their mahouts. Until 1998, the area was a desolate jungle.

The center has one of the largest elephant hospitals in the world, spanning 25,000 square feet, in addition to cutting-edge shelters, scientifically designed day and night enclosures, hydrotherapy pools, water bodies, ayurvedic treatment sections, and a large elephant jacuzzi for treating arthritis in elephants. Each elephant’s nutrition is carefully planned by professor Dr. Petra Wolf, a renowned expert brought in from Germany last year, taking into account their most basic physical needs, including dental health. She is currently in charge of a team of five nutritionists from India who are preparing the food for the rescued elephants in a special kitchen that is more than 14,000 square feet.

Rehab Facility in Vantara:

Tigers Some of the animals rehabilitated at the 650-acre center include Pygmy hippos brought in from Sri Lanka during the country’s financial crisis, over 1,000 crocodiles from a severely overcrowded and congested facility in Tamil Nadu, 200 leopards from all over India who have suffered injuries in road accidents or man-wild conflicts, and lions.

The animals housed there, as well as those saved from mishaps and brought in on advice, are cared for in a one lakh square foot hospital equipped with the newest equipment, including an intensive care unit, an MRI, a CT scan, an X-ray machine, an ultrasound machine, and endoscopy units.

Future objectives of Anant Ambani:

After giving many animals, birds, and reptiles new leases on life, Vantara is looking to collaborate with the Zoo Authority of India and other pertinent government organizations to enhance the infrastructure, training, and capacity building of all 150+ zoos in India. “Our aspiration is for Vantara to become a worldwide symbol of hope and to demonstrate how a progressive organization can support worldwide efforts to conserve biodiversity,” stated Anant Ambani.
