DEHONG, China, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 22, marking the 24th International Biodiversity Day, H3C responded to the 2024 theme "Be part of the Plan" by initiating the "AI with Love — ICT Technology Aiding Biodiversity Protection" public welfare project, in collaboration with the China Green Foundation. The project's initial phase focuses on the Tongbiguan Provincial Nature Reserve, situated in the westernmost tropical region of China in Yunnan Province, bordering Myanmar and close to Eastern Assam in India. This unique area is the only one in China featuring a tropical biota of the Irrawaddy River system. Shorea assamica Dyer - a symbolic species of Asian tropical rainforests Tongbiguan Nature Reserve hosts an exceptionally diverse ecosystem, housing 189 nationally endangered and key protected plants such as Shorea assamica Dyer and Dipterocarpus retusus, along with 215 nationally key protected animals like the Gaoligong Hoolock Gibbon, hornbills, and pangolins. However, the reserve faces challenges due to its remote geographical location and complex terrain. Persistent issues such as illegal poaching, overgrazing, forest destruction, and the invasion of non-native species continuously endanger the local wildlife. The reserve's capacity for internal scientific research and resource management also urgently requires enhancement to safeguard these invaluable natural resources through more effective technical monitoring and protection measures. Zhang Yongsheng (second from left), head of the Tongbiguan Provincial Nature Reserve Administration in Yunnan Province, accepts the donation To better integrate digital technology into species protection, H3C and the China Green Foundation have donated nearly 300,000 yuan worth of intelligent equipment to the reserve through the "AI with Love" project. This contribution aims to bolster the reserve's capabilities in monitoring, data collection, and analysis, thereby supporting the staff in undertaking more precise biodiversity protection tasks. Reserve staff using digital devices to monitor the rare species double-horned rhinoceros This initiative is in line with the "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" unveiled at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15) in December 2022, which sets forth the ambitious goal of protecting at least 30% of the world's land and oceans by 2030. H3C's contribution reflects a commitment to the international consensus on biodiversity protection. Zhang Yongsheng, head of the Tongbiguan Provincial Nature Reserve Administration, remarked, "The 'AI with Love' project has provided invaluable support to our reserve. The introduction of these intelligent devices will significantly enhance our ability to monitor and research tropical rainforest vegetation and nationally protected animals such as the hoolock gibbon and hornbills. We believe that these advanced technologies will enable us to conduct more efficient conservation efforts and furnish precise data for scientific research." Moreover, H3C's efforts resonate with the China Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030) issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in January 2024. The plan outlines the strategic direction and key tasks for biodiversity conservation in the new era, emphasizing the pivotal role of technology in these endeavors. Looking ahead, H3C is committed to continuing its focus on biodiversity conservation, progressively augmenting its deployment of intelligent products and digital solutions in this area. Through this project, H3C also aims to inspire more enterprises and societal forces to join the biodiversity conservation movement, thereby contributing to the building of a global ecological civilization.

In the news release, Breaking Barriers: Silks Hotel Group's Partnership for a Free-Range Future with Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan and Taiwan Mennonite New Dawn Educare Center, issued 07-May-2024 by Silks Hotel Group over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the release headline should read "Breaking Barriers: Silks Hotel Group's Partnership for a Cage-Free Future with Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan and Taiwan Mennonite New Dawn Educare Center". The complete, corrected release follows: Breaking Barriers: Silks Hotel Group's Partnership for a Cage-Free Future with Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan and Taiwan Mennonite New Dawn Educare Center TAIPEI, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Silks Hotel Group (SHG), a multinational hotel chain based in Taiwan, partnered with the non-profit animal protection organization, Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan, and the Taiwan Mennonite New Dawn Educare Center for people living with physical or intellectual disabilities, to advocate for sustainable practices in Taiwan's livestock industry. Their collaboration was unveiled at a press conference on April 25th, where SHG pledged to purchase cage-free eggs as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SHG announced that by the end of 2026, all restaurants in Regent Taipei will fully transition to using cage-free eggs, with other hotels in the group following suit, aiming to complete the transition annually. This initiative not only seeks to enhance conditions for egg-laying hens but also aims to cultivate a culture of compassion towards animals and the environment. (See Appendix for the full text of Silks Hotel Group's cage-free egg initiative) Simon Wu, Chief Operating Officer of Silks Hotel Group, emphasized SHG's long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. Drawing insights from the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan, SHG recognized the suffering endured by billions of hens in traditional battery cages, along with the health risks posed to both humans and animals, and the threats to environmental sustainability. Subsequently, the group initiated discussions to implement new policies. Starting from April 1st, Regent Taipei began using EAST certified cage-free eggs, sourced from New Dawn Care Farm, where hens are cared for by disabled employees. The hotel plans to gradually implement the use to cage-free eggs throughout its food supply chain, starting at the second floor Gallery Lounge and Robin's Steakhouse and Teppanyaki, with an estimated total annual consumption of 52,000 kilograms across all its restaurants. Ms. Chen Yumin, Deputy Executive Director of the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan, highlighted the grim reality that seventy percent of egg-laying hens in Taiwan are still subjected to cruel confinement in outdated "battery cage" systems. This lifelong captivity denies hens their natural behaviors, leading to physical and mental health issues and fostering aggression among them. To address these challenges and avoid economic losses, preventive antibiotics are routinely administered in their feed, exacerbating medication issues for common diseases like respiratory, digestive, immune system, and skeletal problems prevalent among battery-cage hens. Consequently, mentally and physically compromised hens struggle to adapt to climate changes and disease threats, leading to mass culling due to illness and weakness, putting Taiwan at risk of prolonged egg shortages and the spread of zoonotic diseases affecting both humans and animals. Furthermore, Regent Taipei introduced a special Mother's Day cake, "Strawberry Pistachio Mousse," which won the 23rd Gateaux Cup Taiwan Cake Skills Competition. This delectable dessert, made using cage-free eggs, features layers of pistachio biscuits, Fruity Mona strawberry chocolate almond sponge, strawberry jam, pistachio mousse, and strawberry mousse, showcasing rich berry flavors and textures. The use of cage-free eggs symbolizes gratitude and respect for the hardworking egg-laying hens and brings us one step closer to environmental sustainability. Regent Taipei adheres to a management philosophy that values harmony with humans, animals, and the environment, prioritizes ingredient quality, and respects animal welfare. Starting in 2024, the hotel's specialty restaurants will switch to using cage-free eggs, with full implementation expected by 2026. By 2030, all restaurants under the Silks Hotel Group, including those at Regent Taipei, will have embraced this approach. This effort is in line with global Sustainable Development Goals, showcasing our dedication as responsible global citizens.

Legendary activist announces a new ship to protect whales in Antarctica as Japanese whalers to resume poaching. Video and Photos HOBART, Tasmania, Australia, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean conservation organization Captain Paul Watson Foundation, which sails under the banner of Neptune's Pirates has just acquired a new vessel, The Bandero, a former Japanese Fisheries Patrol ship, to combat illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The vessel, which has just sailed from Busan, Korea, will dock in Hobart, Tasmania on Wednesday. The Bandero, now under the banner of Neptunes Pirates, is a former Japanese Fisheries Patrol ship, which will nowto combat illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The vessel, which has just sailed from Busan, Korea, will dock in Hobart, Tasmania. Japan ended its Antarctic whaling program in 2018 after the relentless pursuit by Watson's ships and later, a ruling by the International Court of Justice concluding Japan's whaling program in the Antarctic (JARPA II) was in breach of obligations assumed by Japan under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling ('ICRW'). Despite this, Japanese whaling company Kyodo Senpaku, recently launched a newly built 50$ million dollar whale processing factory ship, the Kangei Maru, in Shimonoseki, which has been designed with the ability to travel as far as Antarctica to hunt whales. "If Japan decides to return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation will target illegal whaling activities in Australia's Antarctic Territory," said Omar Todd, CEO at The Captain Paul Watson Foundation. Captain Paul Watson is known for his fight against whaling in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary and his actions have saved the lives of thousands of whales throughout the years. Under the new foundation bearing his name, he is joined by volunteers and activists from around the Globe in the effort to protect whales and the delicate balance of life in Antarctic waters. "The previous organizations I founded have moved to the mainstream, but my team and I remain loyal to our cause and continue with the same course of action, utilizing our proven strategies of aggressive non-violence," stated Captain Paul Watson. The Bandero, sailing on a single permit voyage to Australia as the NORTHERN HORIZON, under a Mongolian Flag, was recently purchased covertly by Watson's Foundation from the Japanese government. "Months of preparation went into acquiring a suitable vessel to restart Southern Ocean campaigns. Though this vessel will be used to curtail whaling in Antarctic waters, there is no denying Japan builds some of the best quality vessels, in fact this ship is tailor-made for what we do" said Captain Locky MacLean, who has helped acquire 10 ships for Captain Watson over the two decades he has sailed with him, including the former Japanese Oceanographic Research vessel Seifu Maru in 2012, which was also unveiled in Hobart and named SAM SIMON, after the Producer of the Simpsons television show, who donated funds toward the vessel's acquisition. The Bandero, named after the Tequila brand of American Billionaire, John Paul DeJoria, Founder of Patron Tequila and John Paul Mitchell hair care products, is a 64-meter ship with a gross tonnage of 499 tons, and will be stationed in Hobart, Tasmania in the coming weeks while undergoing reflagging and survey work. Skipper Mark Gibbs, who sailed the ship down from Korea in 17 days, stated "Its a big ocean out there, and thanks to benefactors like John Paul DeJoria, we'll be able to do our bit, protecting marine wildlife". Gibbs, a marine scientist from Queensland, works with coral reef restoration when not on the high seas helping out at the Paul Watson Foundation. In 2022, Mr. DeJoria also donated funds for the purchase of a former Scottish Fisheries Patrol vessel now named the John Paul DeJoria. The activists will be taking the ship to Iceland this summer to oppose the illegal hunting of endangered Fin whales. The John Paul DeJoria will then reposition to Australia to join the Bandero at the end of year for the campaign to defend whales in the Southern Ocean. "The Captain Paul Watson Foundation was established in September 2022, but the passion, courage, and imagination that built our reputation continues with a new name, new ships, and the original objectives and strategies developed by Captain Paul Watson over decades of non-violent direct action" stated Haans Siver, Australian Director of CPWF based in the Sunshine Coast. At the time of writing, the NORTHERN HORIZON remains at anchor in the Derwent River pending a review by Tasports of their berthing fee at Princes Wharf in Hobart for clearance, and a safety assessment allowing the vessel to proceed to its berth at Prince of Wales Bay Marina.

Revolutionizing the pet tech space, the Polar Wet Food Feeder transforms feeding time for cats and pet parents with modern design and advanced technological solutions. SAN JOSE, Calif., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PETLIBRO, a leading global pet tech brand that is transforming the pet tech market by incorporating sleek and seamless design, and cutting-edge technology into their products, has unveiled Polar Wet Food Feeder, a first-of-its-kind automatic, refrigerated feeder for wet food. According to a recent PETLIBRO survey of over 900 cat owners, these pet parents said the worst thing about feeding their cat wet food is maintaining the freshness of the food (56%) and that it requires them to be present for mealtime (50%). Keeping both cats and their parents top of mind, PETLIBRO has developed the innovative Polar Wet Food Feeder to solve both obstacles and make mealtimes both automatic and fresh. Additionally, Polar enables cat owners to more easily give their feline friends all the hydration and health benefits of wet food and a moisture-rich diet, without the hassle. "For years, pet parents and their cats have had to compromise in one way or another when it comes to a wet food diet, but Polar encapsulates the ways design and technology can come together to address these challenges," said Dr. Christie Long, Chief Medical Officer at Modern Animal, a new kind of veterinary clinic with convenient locations, 24/7 virtual care, and an intuitive app. "The value of incorporating wet food into a cat's diet cannot be underestimated, especially when it comes to weight management, digestion, urinary tract health, and more. What PETLIBRO has developed in Polar makes a world of difference for cats and pet parents alike." PETLIBRO's recent survey showed that the top reason for pet parents wanting an automatic wet food feeder is convenience when traveling. 67% of cat owners would feel stress-free when they were away from home if they had an automatic wet food feeder. Peace of mind when it comes to the well-being of your pets is invaluable, which is why PETLIBRO designed Polar to specifically address the need for ease and convenience while delivering the highest level of pet care possible. Premiere capabilities include: Refrigeration: With semiconductor cooling tech, Polar refrigerates up to three portions of wet food. This thermoelectric cooling technology can keep up to 7.4 ounces of food per portion chilled and safe for your feline friend to eat during their next meal. 3 Days of Freshness: To reduce odors and spoilage from exposed and uneaten wet food, Polar encloses and refrigerates wet food to maintain freshness for up to 3 days or until the next mealtime, which is great for pet parents who are looking to take longer weekends away. App-Controlled, Convenient Scheduling: Polar allows busy cat owners to set an exact mealtime directly from the PETLIBRO app that will be automatically served when scheduled, so mealtime is never missed with this smart-dispense feature. Polar also features easy-to-clean parts, a 12-hour power outage protection, PawShield and an anti-pinch lid sensor for safety. As a part of the original team that pioneered the creation of the first iPhone back in 2007, PETLIBRO Founder & CEO, York Wu is now applying his technological prowess to the pet industry. With a focus on both pets and their parents, Polar's refrigerated technology, multi-container storage and app capabilities make mealtime seamless. "We are excited to release this groundbreaking new product in hopes of transforming the way cat parents care for their pets," said PETLIBRO Founder & CEO, York Wu. "We know opting for a wet food diet presents certain obstacles for cat owners, including odors, the need to be present during feedings, and the additional time it takes to serve. After hearing these concerns from the cat parent community, we wanted to provide a way for people to serve wet food with ease while giving their cats the nutritional boost they need." Priced at $129.99, the Polar Wet Food Feeder is available at PETLIBRO's official website and Amazon. About PETLIBRO Since 2019, PETLIBRO has grown into one of the best-selling pet tech brands globally. From smart feeders with app insights to ultra-filtered automatic fountains and customizable cat trees, its products are engineered to magnify the bond between your pet and you.
