The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, or WFFT, home to more than 800 rescued animals, had planned to celebrate its 20th anniversary on 1 May. Instead, we may be shutting many gates for the last time.
Siam City Cement Public company Limited to the rescue of bears and a wildlife hospital!
The Wildlife Friends of Thailand were in need of a wildlife hospital and at the same time were building a large extension to the bear enclosures with lots of enrichments such as climbing trees and places to hide from the sun and rain. For both projects a very large amount of cement was needed and a sustainable amount of money was to be involved to purchase this all.
We turned to the Managing Director and the Secretary General of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited for help and were very pleasantly surprised that they would help our both projects with a very generous donation of 100 tons of cement towards the construction!
Siam City Cement Public Company Limited is one of Thailand’s biggest producers of cement and has a reputation of helping out the environment and nature in various ways such as their successful reforestation project which is a long-term commitment. This all shows that businesses not only need to be financial successful but at the same time see the natural environment as a serious shareholder.
The Wildlife Friends of Thailand are very grateful for the given help by Siam City Cement Public Company Limitedand their parent Holcim Ltd, it is truly an inspiration to see that a large company such as theirs shows such commitment to sustainable growth, help natural resources and even care for the unfortunate wildlife of Thailand. Thank you all at Siam City Cement!
