Capellino Foundation: commitment to nature protection and biodiversity
In a time when our planet is facing challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity, the Capellino Foundation plays a crucial role in protecting and restoring the natural world. With a strong focus on scientific research and collaboration with experts worldwide, the foundation is committed to promoting a sustainable and healthy biosphere.
Every business impacts the environment. The model of the Capellino Foundation aims to compensate nature for the impact of its production. This goal arises from the realization that the value created by productive work must be returned to biodiversity through active engagement.
Mission of the Capellino Foundation
The Italian Fondazione Capellino is a non-profit commercial institution funded with 100% of the revenue - after deducting costs and taxes - from Almo Nature. The foundation is also the sole owner of Almo Nature. By purchasing Almo Nature dog and cat food or cat litter, you are directly contributing to the mission of the Capellino Foundation.
The mission of the Capellino Foundation is clear: to support projects focused on protecting biodiversity and restoring ecosystems. This is made possible through close collaboration with national and international scientific institutions and experts in conservation.
One of the unique aspects of the foundation is its wide range of work areas. These include nature conservation, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, and promoting sustainable practices across various sectors. By being active in diverse fields, the foundation can adopt a holistic approach to addressing the challenges our planet faces.
The foundation is involved in both directly managing projects and outsourcing management to qualified third parties. This ensures efficient and effective implementation of initiatives aimed at preserving and restoring natural habitats.
Example Project: Detection Dogs Benin
An example of a successful project by the Capellino Foundation is the support for Detection Dogs Benin. IFAW is a trusted partner seriously engaged in global biodiversity conservation. The IFAW Detection Dogs project in Benin is an action against poaching and international smuggling of protected exotic species.
In this specific case, the Capellino Foundation does not directly intervene but instead donates Almo Nature Holistic dry food to the Detection Dogs project in Benin. This translates to 24,000 free meals for the dogs involved in the fight against poachers. Through this project and many others, the foundation contributes to preserving precious biodiversity for future generations.
You can view all the results of successful projects that have been completed and read about active and ongoing projects on Fondazione Capellino's website.
Ongoing Project in 2024: Elephant Corridor in Tanzania
An example of an ongoing project in 2024 is the Elephant Corridor in Tanzania. The Capellino Foundation, together with the local NGO Southern Tanzania Elephant Program (STEP), is building a 13 km-long ecological corridor in Tanzania. This corridor provides a safe passage without human contact for elephants between Nyerere Park and Udzungwa Park.
In a world where biodiversity conservation and ecological balance are becoming increasingly important, the Capellino Foundation is an example of dedication to nature conservation and sustainability. The foundation's efforts are not only essential for preserving our planet but also for promoting a prosperous future for all living beings.
