The deer were translocated from Vantara's ex-situ conservation facility in Jamnagar and transported in specially designed ambulances to Barda Wildlife Sanctuary. Following confirmation of ecological suitability and readiness of support systems, the deer were released under the supervision of the Forest Department. Vantara provided technical and logistical support to ensure compliance with established conservation protocols.
