Swarovski Optik and World Land Trust announce new ranger programme partnership
The Rangers in the Field.
Swarovski Optik and international conservation charity World Land Trust (WLT), have announced a new partnership which will see them work together in support of the Trust’s 'Keepers of the Wild' ranger programme.
The Keepers of the Wild programme was founded in 2011 to support the Trust’s overseas conservation partners when monitoring and safeguarding the habitat and wildlife in reserves created with funding from WLT.
And now, to further assist the dedicated reserve rangers in protecting these vulnerable habitats, Swarovski Optik has donated a number of their popular SLC binoculars for the rangers to use in their day-to-day activity. The SLC range is one of Swarovski's Optik's most durable binoculars, offering birders and wildlife observers high-optical quality and performance and a large field-of-view.
The binoculars were awarded to four of the Trust’s project partners during an event in Kew, London last week. The recipients included Asociación Civil Provita in Venezuela, GrupoEcológico Sierra Gorda in Mexico, Fundación Pro-Bosque in Ecuador and Asociación Ecológica de San Marcos de Ocotepeque in Honduras.
Peter Antoniou, UK Country Manager for Swarovski Optik commented, “We are extremely proud to lend our support to such a worthwhile charity as World Land Trust. The appreciation of nature and environmentally-friendly production is an essential part of our company philosophy, and we therefore hope the rangers find the binoculars help them in the essential work that they do.”
John Burton, CEO and Founder of World Land Trust added, “We are delighted to be working with SWAROVSKI OPTIK as a new corporate supporter and the equipment they have donated will make a huge difference to our Keepers of the Wild programme. The rangers we support carry out a difficult job and binoculars are an absolute necessity. Having the highest quality product will help them do the best possible job in protecting threatened habitats.”
