Anant Mukesh Ambani has urged the Colombian government to reconsider its plan to cull a population of invasive hippopotamuses and instead allow their relocation to India. In a formal proposal addressed to Colombia’s Environment Minister Irene Vélez Torres, he offered to fund and execute a scientifically managed translocation of approximately 80 hippos from the Magdalena River basin to his wildlife conservation facility, Vantara, in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
