On April 22, 2022, NIO reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Beijing Representative Office of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and WWF became a co-sponsor of NIO’s “Clean Parks” initiative.
Clean Parks is a global ecological co-construction program initiated by NIO in December 2021. It is the world’s first open platform initiated by a car company to support the construction of national parks and nature reserves. Under the agreement, WWF will work with NIO to build a clean, low-carbon energy self-circulating system for national park and nature reserve communities, promote green travel and green development, create demonstration projects for Clean Parks, and safeguard the authenticity and integrity of ecosystem.
Clean Parks has been launched in the Xisha Islands, Sanjiangyuan National Park, Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve, Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia, and Lake Sailimu in Xinjiang.
At the same time, WWF will leverage its expertise in biodiversity protection and sustainable development, work with global authoritative research institutions to explore natural-based biodiversity protection solutions, and use them as one of Clean Parks’ scientific guiding documents.
Founded in 1961, WWF is a global environmental protection organization headquartered in Gland, Switzerland. It is also the first international non-governmental organization invited by the Chinese government to carry out conservation work in China. WWF is committed to preventing the degradation of the Earth’s natural environment, building a beautiful future where humans and nature coexist harmoniously, including protecting global biodiversity, ensuring the sustainable use of renewable resources, promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption behavior, and more.
