The award ceremony, organized by the Global Human Society, was attended by prominent global figures in wildlife conservation, including Dr. John Paul Rodriguez, Matthew James, William Street, Thomas Schmid, and Dr. Michael Edickson. From India, experts such as Dr. Neelam Khaire, Dr. V.B. Prakash, and Dr. K.K. Sharma were present to witness the recognition of Vantara’s efforts.
Vantara, Anant Ambani’s brainchild, has emerged as one of the world’s most comprehensive wildlife conservation projects. It focuses on rescuing injured, sick, and endangered animals, ensuring their treatment and rehabilitation, and preserving endangered species by returning them to safe environments. Organizers praised the initiative as a global benchmark for animal welfare, highlighting that Vantara combines treatment, care, and conservation on a large scale, serving as a model for similar efforts worldwide.
Accepting the award, Anant Ambani said, “This honor inspires me to move forward with even greater strength on the path of ‘Sarvabhuta Hita’, meaning the welfare of all living beings. Animals teach us balance and sensitivity in life. Through Vantara, our aim is to give every living being respect, care, and a better life. Conservation is not a matter of the future but a responsibility of today.”
The recognition also brings international attention to India’s wildlife conservation initiatives, positioning Vantara as a benchmark for innovative animal rescue and environmental protection programs. By merging hands-on care with conservation awareness, the project underscores the growing role of private initiatives in protecting biodiversity.
With this achievement, Anant Ambani joins a distinguished list of previous recipients, including global leaders and Hollywood personalities, reinforcing Vantara’s global reputation as a pioneering force in animal welfare.
