30 Biodiversity and Conservation At Valero, we promote biodiversity and protect wildlife habitat through a number of proactive measures. We engage in diverse ecological projects with local, state and federal regulatory agencies, as well as with neighbors and indigenous communities. Our campaigns promoting wildlife conservation and biodiversity enhancement include working together with local and regional organizations that provide a variety of environmental services ranging from the protection of endangered species, restoration of wetlands and reforestation to rehabilitation of former industrial sites, and promoting environmental awareness through educational programs.
