Guwahati, Assam, 7th of August, 2026 : Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed his gratitude to the Vantara Foundation for extending crucial support to the State Forest Department in rescuing and caring for animals affected by the ongoing floods across the state.
The rescue teams have been working in coordination with the Assam Forest Department to evacuate stranded animals, provide emergency veterinary care, and ensure their safe rehabilitation. The support comes at a time when widespread flooding has impacted several districts, affecting both people and wildlife.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reiterated the importance of collective efforts during disasters and thanked the Vantara Foundation for standing with Assam in protecting its rich biodiversity and wildlife during the ongoing flood crisis.
“One of the lesser discussed yet deeply distressing consequences of the #AssamFloods has been the devastation inflicted on our animals and wildlife. Over 10 lakh livestock have been affected, hundreds of wild animals have been swept away, and many more remain stranded or missing.
While our Forest Department has mounted an extensive rescue and relief effort, the scale of the crisis calls for even greater support. I am grateful to the Vantara Foundation for stepping forward by placing its specialised wildlife rescue teams and ambulance fleet under the command of our Forest Department. Animal rescue during natural disasters often does not receive the attention it deserves. We deeply value those who have chosen to stand for this cause. My sincere gratitude to Shri Anant Ambani for this thoughtful and compassionate gesture.” Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted.
