Anusha Dandekar Lauds Anant Ambani For Vantara Initiative, Shares Story of Rescued Elephant 'Tarzan'

Anusha Dandekar has heaped praise on Anant Ambani, Director on the boards of Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation, for the launch of his Vantara initiative. Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation on Monday announced the launch of ‘Vantara’, a unique programme aimed at rescuing, treating, caring and rehabilitating injured, abused and threatened animals, in India and abroad.

Anusha took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday to share an inspiring story of an elephant named Tarzan who was treated at the Vantara facility. “This is the story of a young elephant Tarzan, who underwent a very complicated cataract surgery performed by the dedicated vets at the Vantara facility. Through advanced medical techniques and unwavering commitment, the team successfully restored the vision of this majestic creature, enabling him to see the world with newfound clarity,” she wrote.

Previously, Kareen Kapoor Khan also talked about an elephant that was rescued under the initiative. “Vantara has tirelessly rescued over 200 elephants and thousands of other animals, reptiles, and birds, committing to animal welfare. Bravo, Anant and team, on creating such an amazing initiative,” she wrote.

With a staff strength of about 2,100+, the rescue and rehabilitation centre has rescued about 200 leopards from all over India, which have suffered injuries in road accidents or man-wild conflicts. It has rescued over 1,000 crocodiles from a severely overcrowded and congested facility in Tamil Nadu. It has rescued animals from hunting lodges in Africa, animals under threat of euthanasia in Slovakia, severely distressed animals from facilities in Mexico.

The Vantara programme has gained tremendously by working together with international organisations such as the Venezuelan National Foundation of Zoos and associating with reputable organisations worldwide such as the Smithsonian and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. In India, it collaborates with the National Zoological Park, Assam State Zoo, Nagaland Zoological Park, Sardar Patel Zoological Park etc.
