Mukesh Ambani Led Reliance Industries To Build World's Largest Zoo In Gujarat's Jamnagar

Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is set to build the world's largest zoo in Gujarat's Jamnagar, reports Times of India.

A pet project of Anant Ambani, the said zoo will house about a hundred different species of animals, birds and reptiles from across the globe. It will come upon an area of 280 acres close to the company's refinery project at Moti Khavdi close to Jamnagar, which is the world's largest oil refining complex.

The said zoo is likely to open up for the public in the next two years. It will be called "Greens Zoological, Rescue & Rehabilitation Kingdom" and have sections like "Forest of India", "Insect Life", "Dragon's Land", "Exotic Island", "Wild Trail of Gujarat" and "Aquatic Kingdom" among others.

For the project, RIL has already obtained all the necessary approvals from the State and Central Governments.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that RIL has already set up a rescue centre at Jamnagar where the company had recently shifted a few leopards. It is running the facility as corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative meant to help the forest department in sheltering big cats which have been injured or have come into any kind of conflict with humans.
