Passions & Purpose

Punit Shah

Wildlife Conservation

Nature has always grounded me. Supporting wildlife conservation is part of that connection. When East Africa’s only tigers arrived at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, I was moved to act — and became the sponsor of the white male tiger, Yura. Our support continues as part of a long-term commitment to protecting Uganda’s natural heritage.
