26 New Grants from Toyota to Help Preserve Biodiversity and Prevent Global Warming

JCN Newswire (English)
Over a period of sixteen years, the Toyota Environmental
Activities Grant Program has supported pragmatically minded
environmental projects conducted by NPOs and other private
non-profit groups. With the announcement of the Toyota
Environmental Challenge 2050 in October this year, the company has
shown that it remains committed to improving the environment
through environmental technology and education.
Between April 1 this year and March 31, 2016, Toyota is adding 26
new projects to the 304 projects in 53 countries and regions that
have already received support under the Toyota Environmental
Activities Grant Program. A ceremony will be held in December in
Toyota City, where representatives of the selected projects will be
presented with grant certificates.
The 26 new projects were chosen from a field of 100 applicants
under the broad themes of biodiversity conservation and global
warming.
Initial screening and selection were conducted by an expert
committee. Projects were vetted based on their sustainability,
scalability, and ability to meet local needs. The ten non-Japanese
projects awarded grants include an initiative to promote the
sustainable use of forest biomass energy in Mozambique. Meanwhile,
the sixteen Japan-based projects include research into
countermeasures for invasive raccoon species, and a wetlands
dragonfly conservation project.
Next spring, a meeting will be held to report on the selections. In
the meantime, Toyota offers its congratulations to the recipients
and to all those who applied.
