Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Apr 16: In a noble gesture of supporting zoos and parks, a donor from Dubai has come forward to sponsor the two month-old lion cubs belonging to Pilikula Biological Park, after reading about the park on Daijiworld.com.
Jayaprakash Bhandary, director of the park at Pilikula, expressed his gratefulness to Daijiworld for supporting the initiatives of the Park. He informed that K G Shenoy, an NRI, has come forward to sponsor the lion cubs with a donation of 4 Lac Rupees, after reading the news on Daijiworld. He was of the opinion that the sponsors will get encouraged, if the names for the cubs are chosen from those suggested by them.
Daijiworld has been instrumental in reaching out to the needy people, by publishing their appeals, and has so far succeeded in mopping up over Rs 2.75 crore help for those facing a crisis in their lives, from its generous readers spread all over the globe. These appeals have been appearing regularly in the website of Daijiworld since the last nine years.
Daijiworld takes pride in the fact that for the first time, it could be of help to the park stated above, as conservation and promoting of nature and the wild animals like lions, elephants etc., is the need of the hour, at a time when forests are getting wiped out because of fast urbanization.
