“RIL has always been in the forefront when it comes to giving back to the society. The project has been developed in around 8,000 square feet area. The beautification project includes placing 60 life-size models of different kinds of animals and birds found in the Gir forest, including famous Asiatic Lions, Leopard, Black Buck, Spotted Dears, Python, Eagle, etc. The famous Gir forest is covered mainly with dry brown grass, therefore, in the replica at the airport also artificial brown grass is used to create impression of the original forest area,” Parimal Nathwani said.
