We are delighted to be able to play a pivotal role to sponsor a young, energetic, F-17 U9 Singapore team for the Gothia Cup that aims to be a meeting place for the world’s children and young people regardless of religion, culture or ethnicity. With football as the common denominator, the event allows youth from different walks of life to interact and share their skills and knowledge which leads to greater self-development both on and off the playing field here at home and abroad.

A programme tailored to build positive character to the “Young and Dangerous” through football. Influencing youths with sports during these children to teenager stage is a highly effective way to keep them on the right track. Values like teamwork, a responsibility to self, respect to others and leadership qualities are imparted to the boys gradually. Opportunities are provided to them to experience these values practically during their years in this academy. For more than a decade, we have worked with many batches of young people at the stage of their ‘rebellious years’, helping them overcome their tough personal/ family situations. We find satisfaction in witnessing our boys overcome this stage of their life and matured into fine adults integrating into the society.

Collaring Wild Elephants to Save their Lives 2019

Three elephants, not one, were successfully collared to reduce the risk of human-elephant conflict in a restricted 1000-square-metre forested area of Eastern Thailand. The collared elephants are located in areas where high human-elephant conflict occurs, also known as the “red zone”.

The statistics are clear: a total of 107 elephant and human conflict occurrences resulted in deaths and injuries, over a five-year period (2012 to 2018) alone, according to Thailand local media news outlet The Nation. Collaring the elephants, in this case, is one proven way to protect them from getting attacked by humans. Tracking their whereabouts will prevent humans from invading their space.

The main reason why both are injuring each other: habitat loss and competition for agricultural land. For the wild elephants, the Eastern Forest Complex has been their home for the past four centuries. The conflict started when human development threatens their home.

As a result, both elephants and humans act against each other, leading to more severe attacks. The “chosen” ones to get collared. The elephants were not chosen at random. In fact, the Department of National Parks – WWF Thailand (DNP) team was following the elephants’ behaviour for sometime before they narrowed down to one elephant from the group. One characteristic they look out for: it needs to be a leader and have peers. This ensures that the selected one can represent the movements of a group after installation of collar. Collaring the elephants will also help the field team to define areas the elephants are using the most to patrol smarter.

These collars will be used to study the migratory movements of these elephants so as to resolve the issue of elephants coming in and destroying the agricultural lands. This is not an issue that comes down to whether elephants kill people or people kill elephants, it’s about finding a viable solution where elephants can live in harmony with people in the future,” said Dr Pinsak Suraswadi, Deputy Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.

Victory Shipping is committed in its partnership with WWF to continue its efforts to seek a viable solution to human-wildlife conflicts around the world.
