Donation of Funds for Protection of Planet and Wildlife Biodiversity

GREENPEACE

Our team in the UK took an important step in supporting global environmental conservation by donating funds to Greenpeace, an organization dedicated to protecting the planet and its wildlife biodiversity.

The donation aimed to contribute to Greenpeace’s ongoing efforts to tackle climate change, combat environmental degradation, and preserve the natural habitats of endangered species. By supporting these initiatives, we reinforced our commitment to sustainability and the well-being of the planet, recognizing the vital role that healthy ecosystems play in maintaining biodiversity and supporting future generations.

The collaboration with Greenpeace was a clear demonstration of our dedication to corporate social responsibility, as we sought to make a meaningful impact beyond its business operations. The funds contributed to critical campaigns and research aimed at safeguarding the environment, ensuring a greener, healthier world for all. Through this donation, we not only supported essential environmental work but also inspired others to protect the Earth’s invaluable natural resources.

Trees for Tigers

25,000 Trees Planted

Our "25,000 Trees for Tigers" project, initiated in Odisha, India aims to restore the habitat of tigers and other wildlife, while addressing critical environmental and socio-economic challenges.

The trees were planted in Sunaria Village, Chandua Gram Panchayat of Koliana Block in Mayurbhanj District, located near the Similipal National Park. This area is vital for the survival of the tiger population, as forests provide essential wild spaces that prevent tigers from entering human settlements. The project generated over 2,000 workdays for local communities who actively participated in planting trees. Upon maturity, the 25,000 trees are expected to sequester approximately 500,000 kilograms of CO2 annually.

The initiative specifically targets the restoration of degraded lands by replanting them with trees that will not only help improve the micro-climatic conditions of the region but also create long-term economic benefits for local communities. The planted trees are expected to offer various advantages such as providing tree produce, which will help uplift rural communities. In addition, the project supports the conservation of biodiversity

by strengthening the tiger’s natural habitat and preventing further encroachment from human activity. This aligns with broader conservation efforts to protect endangered species like the melanistic tiger, a rare subspecies found in the area.

Similipal, one of India’s oldest tiger reserves, holds significant ecological value as it is home to the only known population of melanistic tigers. The conservation efforts in the region are critical, especially considering the potential migration of wild animals from Similipal to the Satkosia Tiger Reserve, which the National Tiger Conservation Authority has identified as a crucial habitat corridor.

The "25,000 Trees for Tigers" project plays an essential role in preserving this corridor and ensuring the sustainability of tiger populations by improving their habitat and reducing human-wildlife conflict. Through this initiative, we are contributing to both environmental conservation and the economic well-being of rural communities.
