Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), a pioneer in energy innovation and corporate sustainability, has taken a significant stride toward environmental conservation by adopting endangered wildlife species across two prominent wildlife sanctuaries in India. Tiger and Red panda are endangered as per IUCN Red list of animals.
In alignment with its Golden Jubilee celebrations themed "Panchatatvon Ka Maharatna," HPCL has adopted three Red Pandas at the Himalayan Zoological Park (HZP), Gangtok, Sikkim, and two majestic tigers, Bajirao (T-5) and Shrivalli (T-3), at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), Mumbai.
Preserving Biodiversity
The adoption of Lucky, Motok, and Dokhbu, three iconic Red Pandas, reflects HPCL's dedication to preserving biodiversity. These rare animals symbolize the delicate ecological balance essential for life on Earth. HPCL's sponsorship ensures these pandas receive the best care, covering food, medication, and habitat support.
Simultaneously, the adoption of Bajirao and Shrivalli highlights HPCL's efforts to protect India's national animal, the tiger. Tigers, known for their critical role in maintaining ecological balance, also contribute to the regeneration of forests and promote ecotourism. Bajirao, a 12-year-old tiger, and Shrivalli, a 4.5-year-old tigress, now enjoy enhanced care and conservation efforts under HPCL's sponsorship.
Inspiring Environmental Stewardship
HPCL’s initiatives underline its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. These adoptions also serve as a powerful symbol of HPCL's core values—power, energy, courage, and environmental consciousness—as it leads by example in creating a greener and healthier planet.
To further these efforts, HPCL plans to integrate these magnificent creatures as mascots in its communication campaigns, inspiring communities to actively participate in preserving nature.
