According to a press release, the objective of the above initiatives is to enhance and conserve the native biodiversity inside the Apollo Tyres’ premises in Kerala and the surrounding areas. By creating the butterfly gardens and cleaning & management of the pond, creation and restoration micro-habitat in the region will be enabled.
