FUJIFILM India Expands Sustainability Efforts to Wildlife Conservation at Corbett Tiger Reserve

Dehradun, December 23, 2025: FUJIFILM India has expanded its sustainability initiatives to protected wildlife through the launch of a Wildlife Conservation Project at Corbett Tiger Reserve in Ramnagar, Uttarakhand. Implemented in collaboration with Anvarat Foundation, the initiative aims to strengthen wildlife healthcare, ecological resilience, and conservation outcomes within protected forest areas.

As part of the project, a dedicated diagnostic laboratory has been set up at the Dhela Rescue, Rehabilitation and Conservation Centre to support rescued and rehabilitated wild animals. The facility will be equipped with the Fujifilm Dri-Chemistry Analyser NX-600 V, enabling on-the-spot health screening and proactive disease surveillance across more than 45 wildlife species. A trained laboratory technician will manage daily diagnostics, maintain health records, and support veterinary teams, helping reduce delays in treatment and improve recovery outcomes.

The initiative is described as a first-of-its-kind deployment of advanced diagnostic technology within a National Tiger Reserve. By bringing testing capabilities directly to the rescue centre, the programme is expected to enhance early detection of illnesses and strengthen overall wildlife healthcare systems.

Beyond animal healthcare, the project also includes community outreach activities in villages surrounding the reserve. These awareness sessions will focus on promoting safe human–wildlife coexistence, reducing conflict-related risks, and encouraging environmentally responsible practices among local residents.

Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land), the initiative reflects FUJIFILM India’s broader focus on environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Koji Wada, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India, said, “At FUJIFILM India, our CSR efforts are rooted in our Group purpose of ‘Giving Our World More Smiles.’ Through this initiative, we are proud to extend our technological capabilities to support wildlife conservation, an area deeply connected to ecological balance and long-term sustainability. By empowering forest authorities we aim to strengthen early detection, improve treatment outcomes for vulnerable species, and contribute to preserving India’s rich biodiversity for future generations.”

Mr. Abhi Shekhar Singh, Vertical Head, Corporate Communications & CSR, FUJIFILM India, added, “India is home to approximately 75% of the world’s tiger population, and it is now the responsibility of both the nation and the brands thriving within it to contribute to this success story. As a dominant player in Blood Chemistry Analyzer technology, which can be seamlessly deployed for veterinary use, this project idea came to us organically. With the constant support and enthusiasm of the authorities at the Corbett Tiger Reserve and our implementation partner, the Anvarat Foundation, I am hopeful that this initiative will bolster the incredible hard work the authorities are already doing.”

The Wildlife Conservation Project forms part of FUJIFILM India’s Sustainable Value Plan 2030, integrating technology-led innovation with long-term environmental responsibility to support India’s biodiversity and conservation goals.
