Bacardi Makes $150,000 Donation To Support Wetlands

As part of its ongoing commitment to the advancement of The Bahamas, Bacardi & Company Limited has made a $150,000 donation to The Bahamas National Trust to further its efforts to protect and conserve the environment and its national park system.

Bacardi’s gift specifically supports the Harrold and Wilson Ponds National Park, the first for New Providence.

The Bacardi donation will allow for the extension of the boardwalk, nature trail and a viewing platform to observe the more than 100 species of birds in the park, including the globally threatened Bahama Swallow.

"Bacardi is thrilled to be making this donation for the betterment of The Bahamas and our precious national parks," said Andy Fowler, vice president of administration, human resources and environmental compliance for Bacardi & Company Limited.

"Around the world, Bacardi makes environmental stewardship a top priority."
