Ahead of this year’s Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton visited a Mangrove Plantation Project funded by the Title and Technical Partner PETRONAS, on the small South Malaysian island of Tanjung Surat. He also witnessed the planting of the mangrove conservation programme’s 30,000th tree, marking the first key milestone of the project being achieved. The project, set up by PETRONAS in 2021, aims to enrich local biodiversity through reforestation, contribute to carbon sequestration, and provide opportunities to the local community. Seeing first-hand how PETRONAS works with the local community and volunteers is hugely inspirational. The project here doesn’t just help the local community it also contributes to the wider environment. PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) in collaboration with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), planted 500 new mangrove saplings along the Kertih River at the ecoCare Environmental Education Centre here today, in support of Yayasan PETRONAS’ Sentuhan Alam environmental conservation programme.
