Mumbai, September 5: Anant Ambani's Vantara has extended a helping hand to Namibia, offering critical assistance to prevent the culling of animals as the nation grapples with severe drought conditions. In a formal communication addressed to the High Commissioner of the Republic of Namibia, Vantara expressed its commitment to support wildlife conservation efforts and provide alternatives to animal culling, which has been considered as a drought-relief measure.

Anant Ambani serves as Director on the Boards of Jio Platforms Limited since March 2020, Reliance Retail Ventures Limited since May 2022 and Reliance New Energy Limited and Reliance New Solar Energy Limited since June 2021. He also serves on the Board of Reliance Foundation since September 2022. La Nina Effect: ‘State of Drought Disaster’ Declared As El Nino Effect Causes Severe Food Situation Across Southern Africa.

Namibia, currently facing the devastating impact of drought, has explored various strategies to mitigate the crisis, including the controversial option of culling animals to reduce strain on limited resources.

However, Anant Ambani, known for his deep passion for wildlife conservation, has stepped forward with a compassionate solution. In the letter to the High Commissioner, Vantara stated, "We at Vantara stand in complete solidarity with the people of Namibia during this challenging time. We are deeply moved by the plight of the wildlife and would like to offer our assistance to avoid the culling of animals." Anant Ambani on Lalbaug Ganpati Committee: Mukesh Ambani’s Son Appointed Honorary Member of Lalbaugcha Raja Mandal Ahead of Ganeshotsav 2024.

The letter further emphasised Vantara's past efforts of providing shelter and refuge to animals at risk of being culled. "In the past, Vantara has provided shelter and refuge to animals on the verge of being culled, offering a sustainable alternative. We are prepared to put our best foot forward and provide lifelong care or temporary housing for the animals, ensuring their survival," the letter continued.

Anant Ambani dedicated Vantara, a visionary project focused on wildlife conservation, earlier this year. The sanctuary is home to over 200 elephants and 300 big cats, including tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards, among other wildlife species. Ambani's initiative reflects his commitment to protecting endangered animals and preserving biodiversity.

"At Vantara, our mission is to overcome challenges that threaten the welfare and survival of animals. We believe that every life is precious, and we are eager to work with the Republic of Namibia and its organisations to explore alternatives to culling," the letter concluded.
