Being a vocal proponent of environmental protection and preservation, the Bacardi Corporation never ceases to support efforts that promote pro-environment endeavors. Partnering with the Bahamas National Park and the Nature Conservancy has helped the Bacardi Corporation slowly realize its goals through the Park Partnership commitment.The Bacardi Corporation Foundation has been one of the biggest supporters in the creation and maintenance of national parks in the Bahamas. Among their notable contributions is the $150,000 donation given to the Bahamas National Trust for the improvement and further development of the Harrolds and Wilson Ponds National Park, the first national Park in New Providence.The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is also among the parks that have received great support from the Bacardi Family Foundation. The maintenance of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is managed by The Nature Conservancy. The Bahamas National Trust, on the other hand, not only manages national parks, but also conducts conservation education programs. Conservation education is a process from which different individuals gain the knowledge, values, and skills to become efficient wardens of the environment and its natural resources. The education programs of the Bahamas National Trust are handled by a full-time professional educator and supported by a congregation of volunteers, as well as national and international partners.All three entities have worked together towards a common goal — to preserve and safeguard the environment. The Bacardi Corporation demonstrated a deep and long-standing interest in the natural environment of The Bahamas and Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park through their commitment to the Parks Partnership.Related Articles:Learn more about the history of the Bacardi Family.Visit the Bacardi Family’s rum factory.
