The National Zoological Park in Delhi is set to collaborate with animal welfare organisation Vantara in a move aimed at improving animal care, staff training and overall management of the zoo. “This initiative aims to strengthen the zoo’s operations and transform it into a more meaningful and enriching experience for the people of Delhi,” Vantara CEO Vivaan Karani said.

The collaboration aims to support animal care through shared resources, scientific expertise, and modern facilities, officials said in a statement. It is designed to combine the strengths of the public institution with Vantara’s specialised knowledge in animal welfare, it stated.
