“In today’s life, you can’t see God. But I see God within every animal. So, it’s my giving back to society,” said Anant Ambani on his spiritual connection to animals. He spoke passionately about his calling for animal welfare, expressing a deep spiritual connection to the creatures. “Only a few people are working for animal welfare. I think I was the chosen one. And I was fortunate enough, that with God’s blessings, I could do seva of animals.”
Anant outlined an ambitious vision for Vantara, emphasising its role in the rescue, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of injured and endangered animals, with the ultimate goal of establishing it as the world’s foremost Wildlife Institute. “My vision is that at Vantara in Jamnagar, we would like to be the world’s most advanced Wildlife Institute.”
The youngest scion’s vision extends to making Vantara an education hub. With over 200 rescued elephants and 150 rescued leopards, the centre aims to provide a source of learning for the public. Unlike zoos, Vantara is building a zoological garden without the cage concept, promoting a deeper understanding of animals within their natural habitat.
Vantara is not only a sanctuary for animals but also a catalyst for positive change in the local community. Ambani highlighted efforts to farm locally, source organic manure from ‘gaushalas’, and contribute to the economy by supporting over 12,000 individuals. “We farm a lot of stuff locally… Everything is made in India, grown locally, as much as possible. And there’s an economy of more than 12,000 people based on this.”
