Singapore - Media company Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) is presenting the city-state's premier on Wednesday of an acclaimed movie to help spread information about the threat of global warming. SPH is also donating 120,000 Singapore dollars (79,000 US dollars) to the Wildlife Conservation Singapore Fund, it said on Tuesday.
Arctic Tale is an animated movie about how polar bears and walruses cope with the melting of ice near the North Pole, a consequence of global warming.
Produced by National Geographic Films, Arctic Tale focuses on the lives of a polar bear cub and walrus pup over eight years from their birth.
The SPH Foundation, the company's charity arm, will present a check to the fund for the Singapore Zoo's conservation programmes.
"As a regional media player, SPH would like to be part of the solution to the climate crisis and management of the earth's resources," said Ginney Lim, executive vice-president for corporate communications.
