Supporting Laos’ Elephants

Laos, once known as Lan Xang, the “Land of a Million Elephants”, is now home to approximately 400 wild elephants and more than 400 elephants in captivity, with both populations facing a continuing decline. Wild elephants face habitat loss, fragmentation, human-elephant conflict and poaching. Many captive elephants continue to work in logging and tourism, with limited access to specialised veterinary care. It is estimated that for every one to two elephants born in Laos each year, around 10 die.

A National Rapid Response for Elephants

As a first step, an Elephant Rapid Response Team has been inaugurated at Mandalao Elephant Conservation in Luang Prabang, in the presence of Lao Government representatives.

Vantara has provided a fully equipped mobile elephant veterinary unit that will enable the team to respond to sick and injured elephants across Laos, including both wild and captive elephants. The collaboration will also establish a specialised hospital for elephants requiring emergency treatment, long-term care and rehabilitation.

A New Beginning for Mae Khamnoy

The launch coincides with the rescue of Mae Khamnoy, a 43-year-old female elephant who spent her entire life working in logging operations. She lost two calves during pregnancy, reportedly as a result of the hardships she endured. More recently, she was being kept alone beside a busy road in Vientiane, where she was ridden by tourists and made to perform tricks.

Mae Khamnoy will now move to Mandalao Elephant Conservation for a well-deserved retirement, where she will receive veterinary care, a natural and balanced diet, and the opportunity to live alongside other elephants and experience social interaction. Her rescue highlights some of the welfare challenges facing working elephants, including injuries associated with prolonged work, inappropriate riding equipment and the use of hooks.

Veterinary Care and Local Capacity

Alongside the launch, Vantara and Mandalao veterinary teams carried out a health camp for 12 resident elephants including comprehensive health assessments, diagnostics and specialist consultations. The programme will also provide capacity building training for elephant caregivers and Veterinarians in elephant welfare, husbandry, nutrition and preventive healthcare, helping build long-term veterinary and animal-care capacity in Laos.

Dr Tim Bouts, Elephant Veterinary Specialist at Mandalao Elephant Conservation, said: “Establishing this Elephant Response Team is a major step forward for elephant welfare and veterinary care in Laos. We are proud to offer this service free of charge to elephant owners and Government Departments responsible for elephants across the country. We thank Vantara for its support and look forward to a long-term collaboration.”

Protecting Wild Elephants

Beyond supporting elephants in human care, the partnership will develop long-term, field-based solutions to support the recovery of Laos’ wild elephant population and safeguard its genetic diversity. This will include work on population recovery, habitat stewardship, community engagement, and measures to reduce human-elephant conflict and poaching. The work will be developed with Lao authorities, local communities and conservation partners.

Ajit Kulkarni, Special Director, Compliance and Due Diligence, Vantara, said: “We are glad to partner with Mandalao to support the elephants of Laos, in Laos. By combining veterinary care with investment in local expertise and conservation in the wild, we hope to make a lasting contribution to the future of the country’s elephants.”

The partnership brings together Mandalao’s experience in Laos with Vantara’s veterinary, technical and conservation expertise, with the aim of strengthening the country’s long-term capacity to care for and conserve its elephants.

The release comprised five male and 15 female blackbucks, transferred from Vantara, Jamnagar, following the requisite approvals of the Chief Wildlife Warden, Gujarat, and the Central Zoo Authority (CZA). The transfer was undertaken in accordance with prescribed protocols covering veterinary examination, health screening, quarantine, disease surveillance, safe and humane transportation and release. Vantara complied with all the necessary requirements.

The significance of the initiative extends beyond the release of 20 animals. Restoring native herbivores is an important part of rebuilding the ecological fabric of Banni, strengthening its native herbivore community, supporting natural predator prey relationships and contributing to the recovery of a more resilient grassland ecosystem.

Banni is a vast grassland landscape supporting pastoral communities and diverse native wildlife. Blackbuck, chinkara, nilgai and wild boar have historically formed part of its herbivore assemblage. Their recovery, alongside habitat conservation and scientific grassland management, can help restore the ecological character and biodiversity of the landscape.

The initiative reflects the broader national commitment to the revival of India’s native species and restoration of its grassland ecosystems, a conservation direction strongly championed under the leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. Project Cheetah, launched under this national vision, has placed ecological restoration, recovery of grasslands, prey base strengthening, scientific wildlife management and community participation at the centre of India’s species recovery efforts.

Dr Jaipal Singh, IFS, Chief Wildlife Warden, Gujarat, said: “Restoring native wildlife is fundamental to restoring healthy landscapes. The release of these 20 blackbucks into Banni on India’s Independence Day is an important milestone in our continuing effort to recover the ecological character and biodiversity of this unique grasslands. Such restoration requires science, sustained management and collaboration, and we appreciate Vantara’s technical support in carrying out the programme in accordance with prescribed protocols.”

Ajit Kulkarni, Special Director, Compliance & Due Diligence, Vantara, said: “There can be no greater privilege on Independence Day than contributing to a future in which India’s native species continue to live and flourish in the natural landscapes to which they belong. Species restoration is not simply about releasing animals; it requires a thorough understanding of the habitat, the species and the individual animals being released, as well as habitat dynamics, population planning, and the active support of all stakeholders, particularly local communities, to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of these efforts. We are honoured to support the Gujarat Forest Department and the Government’s conservation vision for Banni, and to contribute our technical capabilities wherever they can strengthen India’s wildlife conservation efforts.”

Part of a Wider Gujarat Native Herbivore Conservation Programme

The Banni release forms part of a wider programme to strengthen native herbivore populations across Gujarat. The Central Government, through the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, has approved the translocation of 500 blackbucks and 100 chinkara, with the Chief Wildlife Warden, Gujarat, providing the necessary directions for the exercise.

While components of this wider programme support prey base augmentation in connection with the planned cheetah reintroduction programme, the Banni blackbuck release also has an important and independent species restoration objective: rebuilding populations of wildlife native to the grasslands.

The Banni Grassland Forest Division has sought Vantara’s technical support for the wider translocation programme, including specialised herbivore transport vehicles, portable boma systems, veterinary expertise and technical support for safe handling and transportation.

The initiative builds on the Gujarat Forest Department’s sustained conservation work. With the approval of the Chief Wildlife Warden, Gujarat, Vantara has previously supported the Forest Department in the rewilding of nearly 80 spotted deer in Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, contributing to biodiversity strengthening within the Asiatic lion conservation landscape.

The Banni initiative further strengthens this model of conservation collaboration, with the State Government and Gujarat Forest Department providing leadership and stewardship, supported by Vantara’s specialised capabilities in veterinary medicine, wildlife management, translocation and post release monitoring.

As India celebrates its 80th Independence Day, the return of these blackbucks to Banni carries a significant conservation message: protecting India’s natural heritage means not only safeguarding species, but restoring the landscapes in which they can once again live wild and thrive.

• Over 100 children from NGOs supported by Reliance Foundation participated in dedicated ‘ESA Days’ at Emotions Lab.

• At Emotions Lab, co-developed by NMACC, Reliance Foundation, and Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar, children explored how to recognise, understand and express their emotions in a safe, playful and engaging environment through immersive, interactive exhibits.

• The experience will remain open to the public at NMACC until August 2, 2026.

Mumbai, July 15, 2026: It was an emotive learning experience for over 100 children from nongovernmental organisations supported by Reliance Foundation, at the special opening of ‘Emotions Lab’ this month.

Ms Isha Ambani joined the children during the launch, as they explored how to recognise, understand and express their emotions in a safe, playful and engaging environment through immersive, interactive exhibits.

Brought to Mumbai by Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), Reliance Foundation in collaboration with Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar ‘Emotions Lab’ was launched as part of NMACC’s annual Bachpan festival. It invites young audiences to explore emotional literacy and social-emotional development through immersive, play-based experiences. Designed for children aged 5 to 11 years and their families, it helps recognise, understand, express and regulate emotions.

The dedicated Education and Sports for All (ESA) days on the opening days, marked the inaugural experience of this first-of-its-kind initiative in India.

Ms Isha Ambani, Director, Reliance Foundation, who interacted with the children during the event said, “We believe learning should be an adventure driven by playfulness and curiosity. We are thrilled to build on our partnership with Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar to bring Emotions Lab to young minds in India. It is vital for children to learn emotional literacy and intelligence early in life, both inside and outside the classroom. The exhibition with a dedicated day for children under our Education and Sports For All (ESA) initiative, is in line with our commitment to ensure educational experiences are accessible to all children.”

The exhibition is centred on the Mood Meter, developed by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence as a signature tool of the RULER approach to cultivating emotional intelligence in schools. Through a simplified adaptation of the Mood Meter, ‘Emotions Lab’ helps children build five key emotional intelligence skills: recognising, understanding, labelling, expressing and regulating emotions, through interactive experiences and practical tools.

Under the vision of Reliance Foundation’s ESA programme, children participated in guided explorations of Emotions Lab, where they engaged in activities that encouraged them to recognise emotions through facial expressions and body language, understand how everyday experiences influence feelings, and explore how emotions shape communication and relationships. Through these hands-on experiences, children learned to interpret emotional cues, express themselves with confidence and develop practical tools for emotional awareness and resilience. They also took part in an NMACC Art Walk, which encouraged observation, creativity and self-expression through engagement with art.

Guided by Reliance Foundation’s ‘We Care’ philosophy, ESA aims to inspire and empower children to dream big and achieve their potential by expanding access to education, sports and experiential learning opportunities for children from all backgrounds.

Developed by the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Reliance Foundation, and Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar, in collaboration with education experts in India and internationally, ‘Emotions Lab’ transforms conventional spaces into immersive learning environments through play. Adapted for the Indian context, it enables children to explore emotions through engaging and accessible socialemotional learning experiences.

‘Emotions Lab’ is the second exhibition in the Museum in Residence series, building on the collaboration established through Light Atelier in 2025, which engaged more than 13,000 children through playful exploration of light, shadow and colour. Following its run at NMACC, Emotions Lab will be adapted for schools and Anganwadis across India, particularly to reach children in underserved communities.

By bringing together play, creativity and emotional learning, Emotions Lab encourages children to build confidence, empathy and resilience while nurturing curiosity and imagination, essential to lifelong learning and development. The exhibition at NMACC aims to reach a broad audience to experience including public entry, school outreach and packages for local schools, and is open until August 2, 2026.
