Raveena Tandon appointed as brand ambassador for national park in Mumbai
Raveena Tandon is now the new brand ambassador of Mumbai’s Sanjay Gandhi National Park. park officials announced on Tuesday as part of an event that all the leopards and lions in the park are now adopted by a private company.
Along with becoming the brand ambassador, Raveena also adopted a leopard at the rescue centre.
“Our brand ambassador adopted a leopard for ₹1.2 lakh. Eight other leopards, as well as all the lions, were also adopted...,” said Anwar Ahmed, director of forest, SGNP.
As part of the adoption, the officials revealed that all expenses related to the upkeep of the animals will be borne by those who adopt them for a year. This exercise was started after the maintenance cost of the animals at the centre became too much to handle by the forest department. The department then issued a resolution in 2014 which made it possible for citizens and companies in the city to adopt animals for a year upon paying a certain fee.
