Yali announces support for wetland conservation
Howard Lake | 3 February 2009 | News
The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is delighted that leading Chilean wine producer Viña Ventisquero is showing support for its worldwide conservation work by making a donation for every case of its Yali wine sold in the UK.
Viña Ventisquero’s winery is situated in the Yali Wetland Zone, central Chile’s most important ecosystem and home to a quarter of the country’s bird species. The association with one of the UK’s leading conservation organisations will be highlighted to UK wine buyers by WWT branded neck tags on every bottle of Yali wine.
John Creedon, Corporate Relations Manager, explains: WWT is delighted to be associated with the Yali brand. There is a strong match between our work conserving wetlands worldwide and the vision of Viña Ventisquero in managing the Yali Wetlands in Chile. The partnership will help us continue with our vital conservation work in the future.”
Américo Hernández adds: “We are very excited to be working alongside WWT as the organisation is the perfect partner for our Yali brand – both have the same commitment to the environment and specifically to the preservation of wetlands. We have been working very closely with local communities and schools to teach people about the benefits of El Yali Wetland and how everyone can play their part in its conservation.”
