Ambanis are set to build one of the biggest zoo in the world in their home state, Gujarat. The zoo will also include rescue centre to support the local government. The zoo is scheduled to open in the year 2023.

The director of research at Campden Wealth, Rebecca Gooch said, “They have the economic horsepower to turn fantasy into reality”. “Investing in public spaces can help both a family’s and its company’s image, in turn aiding profitability and mitigating potentially negative exposure. It can also affirm a wealth holder’s standing in society and publicly cement a family’s legacy well into the future.”
Initially, the plan had been delayed somewhat by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns. As per reports, the zoo will be located in Gujarat’s Jamnagar, where Reliance Industries has production facilities. Notably, Jamnagar district is also where the Khijadia Bird Sanctuary is located.
According to the data uploaded on the website of the Central Zoo Authority indicates that the zoo will be called ‘Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Kingdom’.
“The Detailed Project Report submitted along with the Master Layout Plan for the proposed establishment of the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Kingdom at Jamnagar, Gujarat by Reliance Industries Limited was approved by the 33rd Meeting of the Central Zoo Authority held on February 12, 2019,” the document adds.
As per the listing, animals such as African lion, cheetah, Bengal tiger, Pygmy hippo, Malayan tapir, gorilla, zebra, giraffe, African elephant, Komodo dragon, vultures, green anaconda, gharial, civet, otters, black buck and ostrich will be seen there.
