Twenty Blackbucks Released in Gujarat's Banni Grasslands to Restore Ecosystem
On India's 80th Independence Day, 20 blackbucks—five males and 15 females—were translocated from Vantara's Jamnagar facility to Gujarat's Banni grasslands. The Gujarat Forest Department, supported by the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, conducted the release following approvals from the Central Zoo Authority and the Chief Wildlife Warden. This initiative aims to restore native herbivore populations, strengthen predator-prey dynamics, and enhance the ecological resilience of the Banni grassland ecosystem, which supports both wildlife and pastoral communities.
