Tropical Shipping, a cargo transportation company located in St Vincent & the Grenadines, has generously donated a check of USD $1000.00 to the SVG Environment Fund to support local conservation efforts.
This contribution is part of Tropical Shipping’s annual sponsorship donation program, according to a company press release.
The funds will aid the organization in enhancing conservation projects throughout St. Vincent & the Grenadines, with a specific focus this year on safeguarding sea turtles.
The presentation occurred at Tropical Shipping’s conference room on April 15th, where Kerwin Hinson, Sales Representative of Tropical Shipping, handed over the check to Stephan Hornsey, Manager of the SVG Environment Fund.
Hornsey expressed gratitude towards Tropical Shipping and emphasized the organization’s dedication to preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
He highlighted how the donation would support SVG Environment Fund’s expansion of programs, vital research, and initiatives aimed at ensuring the survival and prosperity of turtle populations in the region.
The company further emphasized that by collaborating with SVG Environment Fund, Tropical Shipping is honoring its commitment to island life by aiding in the preservation of oceans and marine life for future generations, and protecting the turtles that inhabit these waters.
In response to rising global threats to sea turtles, the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines implemented a complete ban on the killing of sea turtles and the collection of their eggs, effective January 1, 2017.
