Saving Wildlife and Restoring Their Well-Being With Advanced Care
Founding Visionary
Late. Shri. Dhirubhai Ambani
Late. Shri. Dhirubhai Ambani transformed Jamnagar by establishing a refinery on once-barren land that had scarce drinking water. The land’s green cover significantly increased. His visionary efforts to preserve India’s natural heritage laid the foundation for Vantara. This legacy, carried forward by Shri. Mukesh Ambani, inspired Shri. Anant Ambani to create a place dedicated to conserving biodiversity and honouring wildlife.
Our Founder
Shri. Anant Mukesh Ambani
I see God in animals and Vantara is my temple. It is born from a belief that every being, no matter how big or small, deserves dignity, care, freedom, and a chance to heal and live. At Vantara, we are not just saving animals; we are healing ecosystems, restoring balance, and redefining coexistence for our future generations.
Founder of the Reliance Foundation
Smt. Nita Mukesh Ambani
Vantara is a testament to the deep compassion and commitment Anant always had for animals. He believed every animal deserves dignity, care, and a safe home. Like a modern-day Noah’s Ark, Vantara is a place for species on the brink of extinction. It has grown into a haven that saves, protects, and preserves wildlife that would otherwise be lost. It is not just a place - it is a promise to safeguard and care for the animals who need us most
