In the wake of a devastating drought in Namibia that poses a significant threat to its wildlife, Anant Ambani’s Vantara Foundation has stepped forward to assist in wildlife conservation efforts. The Gujarat-based foundation, known for its expertise in animal welfare, is offering crucial support to prevent the loss of endangered species due to the harsh environmental conditions.


Vantara Foundation, through its flagship initiatives like the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre and the Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust, has been a pioneer in the conservation sector. These initiatives, spread across 3,500 acres and supported by over 2,000 experts, have made remarkable strides in safeguarding over 2,000 species. The foundation's state-of-the-art hospitals and research facilities ensure that animals receive the highest level of care.

In response to Namibia’s current crisis, Vantara has reached out to the Namibian government, raising concerns about the potential culling of animals as a solution to the drought. In a letter addressed to Namibian officials, the foundation urged them to consider alternative, humane measures to protect the country's wildlife. The foundation emphasized that culling should not be the answer, proposing instead to provide either temporary or permanent refuge for the animals at risk.


Vantara's letter outlined the foundation’s vision to prioritize animal welfare in the face of any threat. It further offered to collaborate closely with Namibian authorities to explore sustainable ways to protect wildlife without resorting to drastic actions. The foundation's history of rescuing and rehabilitating vulnerable species highlights its commitment to preserving biodiversity.

As Namibia battles this environmental challenge, the Vantara Foundation’s intervention symbolizes global solidarity in the fight to protect endangered wildlife. This initiative underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing the conservation challenges brought about by climate change.


By offering a lifeline to Namibia’s wildlife, Vantara is not only upholding its mission but also inspiring global action toward protecting the world’s most vulnerable species.
