We are supporting a wildlife conservation project to help save endangered species in the Philippines.

Imperial Tobacco is backing a scheme led by Bristol Zoo on the island of Negros to preserve its unique forest habitat.

Neil Maddison and Nigel Simpson from the zoo met with the factory management team at our Philippine Bobbin Corporation subsidiary near Manila (pictured).

They explained how the project team is working with the local community to ensure residents and wildlife can live alongside each other.

Carlos Saez-Diez Reberdito, Factory Manager, said: "We have employees here who come from Negros and are keen to help support these activities.

"The work not only focuses on the conservation of endangered species but also the island's environment and people." Enditem
