New Delhi. Thousands of helpless birds and other wild animals from across the country are treated in Anant Ambani’s ‘Vantara’. In the recent past, countless such voiceless people were brought to Vantara, who were in dire need of help.Among the birds that received help was Palm Cockatoo Luna, who suffered serious injuries on her upper beak.
Despite the best efforts, the wound on the beak kept getting infected, making the situation very painful for the bird.His beak started rotting. In such a situation, it became difficult for Luna to even eat food, due to which her weight started decreasing rapidly. Seeing the deteriorating health of Luna, the wildlife veterinary rescue team brought her to Vantara Rehabilitation Center located in Janagar.
Luna’s growing infection was carefully contained and she was placed under the care of veterinarians. Under the dim glow of the operating room lights, Luna was placed under gas anesthesia. Skilled veterinarians delicately removed the necrotic material from Luna’s beak, clearing the infection and preventing further damage.
To ensure that Luna received the correct treatment, a sample was taken for microbiological culture.After the surgery, Luna was kept under observation and given plenty of rest and nutritious food. Gradually Luna started regaining her strength. Her beak began to heal and soon she was able to eat without pain. With each passing day, Luna became stronger and more alive.
His beak, which was once damaged and fragile, is now as strong as ever. This is a testament to her resilience and the care she receives. As Luna spread her wings and started flying back towards the forest, her sweet call filled the air.
Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation on Monday announced the launch of its Vantara (Star of the Jungle) program to focus on the rescue, treatment, care and rehabilitation of injured, abused and endangered animals both in India and abroad. It is a comprehensive initiative.
The brainchild of Anant Ambani, director of RIL and Reliance Foundation, Vantara is spread over 3,000 acres within the green belt of Reliance’s Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Gujarat. It has a center for elephants with state-of-the-art shelters, scientifically designed day-night enclosures, hydrotherapy pools, water bodies and a large elephant Jacuzzi for treating arthritis in elephants.
For other wild animals that have been deployed in circuses or overcrowded zoos, a 650-acre rescue and rehabilitation center has been built where animals are rescued from endangered and dangerous environments in India and around the world.
