Businessman and philanthropist Anant Ambani, founder of the wildlife conservation centre Vantara, has become the youngest ever and the first Asian to receive the Global Humanitarian Award for Animal Welfare. The Global Humane Society selected Anant for his visionary leadership in establishing Vantara, a conservation centre that has redefined what is possible in large-scale rescue, rehabilitation, and species preservation through evidence-based welfare programmes and science-led conservation initiatives.
Dr Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of Global Humane Society, said, “Vantara receiving the Global Humane Certified distinction reflects not only excellence in care, but a profound dedication to giving every animal dignity, healing and hope. And there is no greater champion of that vision than Anant Ambani, whose leadership has set a new global standard for compassion in action. Vantara represents one of the most extraordinary commitments to animal welfare anywhere in the world.”
“For me, this reaffirms a timeless principle — ‘sarva bhuta hita’… the wellbeing of all beings. Animals teach us balance, humility and trust. Through Vantara, our purpose is to give every life dignity, care and hope, guided by the spirit of ‘seva’. Conservation is not for tomorrow; it is a shared dharma we must uphold today,” Anant said.
Global Humane Society, the international brand of American Humane Society — the oldest national humane organisation in the US and the largest certifier of animal welfare — has bestowed the award upon only a select few over the years. Founded in 1877, the Society has been at the forefront of virtually every major advance in the humane movement. The Global Humane Certified programmes are some of the most rigorous, meaningful certifications in animal welfare anywhere in the world.
