Vantara Cleared of Allegations by Supreme Court
Vantara, a wildlife rescue center, was accused of misusing water and wrongly claiming carbon credits.

The team found these claims were untrue, and that Vantara operates ethically.
The court accepted the team's findings, ending the case.
Vantara's operations are funded philanthropically, not through carbon credits.
The Supreme Court cleared Vantara of all allegations.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was appointed to investigate the claims.
Allegations included misuse of water resources and carbon credit misuse.
The SIT found the accusations 'entirely baseless'.
