DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a significant acknowledgment for India’s conservation efforts, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has lauded Vantara, India’s pioneering animal welfare and conservation initiative for its world-class standards of care, robust compliance with international wildlife trade norms, and deep commitment to ethical stewardship of endangered species.

CITES Praises India’s Vantara for Exemplary Wildlife Care and Full Compliance with Global Standards

Following an official visit by the CITES Secretariat to India in September, the findings were compiled in a detailed report presented at the seventy-ninth meeting of the CITES Standing Committee in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The report highlights India’s strong wildlife protection framework and commends Vantara for its exemplary veterinary infrastructure, ethical practices, and conservation-driven management.

Setting a Global Benchmark in Wildlife Welfare

According to the Secretariat’s report, “Both the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (GZRRC) and the Radha Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust (RKTEWT) operate to exceptionally high standards with advanced facilities, including well-designed enclosures and comprehensive veterinary care.”

The team observed that the facilities under Vantara, spanning multiple conservation zones and care units are fully compliant with Article III of the Convention, which governs the care and trade of Appendix I-listed species. Importantly, the report confirmed that no illegal imports or commercial breeding activities were detected at any of the Vantara managed centres.

Recognising India’s Ethical and Legal Leadership

The CITES mission further applauded India’s Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, as amended in 2022, which aligns fully with international obligations. The report places India in Category 1 under CITES’ National Legislation Project, representing the highest possible level of compliance, a status achieved by only a few nations globally.

Reaffirming India’s clean record in wildlife trade compliance, the Secretariat noted:

“The Secretariat has not found evidence of any animals being imported to India without proper CITES export or import permits, nor of any import for primarily commercial purposes.”

This statement stands as a categorical endorsement of India’s transparent and law-abiding conservation framework and underscores the integrity of institutions such as Vantara that work within its ambit.

Advancing Science and Compassion

Beyond regulatory compliance, the CITES report celebrated the scientific and humane excellence of Vantara’s animal care model. Both GZRRC and RKTEWT were recognised for making “important successes in medical care and treatment of animals,” and the Secretariat encouraged that these insights and innovations be shared with the global scientific community to elevate standards of animal welfare worldwide.

Vantara’s facilities combine modern science with compassion driven care offering rescued and rehabilitated animals expansive, naturalistic habitats, advanced medical attention, and enrichment programmes that prioritise psychological and physical wellbeing.

Both centres have reaffirmed their conservation-first philosophy, clarifying that “the sale of animals or their offspring has never been intended and will not be pursued in the future.”

Institutional Recognition and Breeding Achievements

Officially recognised by Indian authorities, the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (GZRRC) was approved by the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) in 2019 and revalidated in 2023 and again in 2025 reflecting consistent compliance with India’s national standards. The Radha Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust (RKTEWT), meanwhile, received its official zoo recognition from CZA in July 2025.

Together, the two Vantara facilities are home to over 47,000 animals across thousands of species, maintaining approved breeding programmes for 42 species including 26 native and 16 non-natives. Among their most celebrated successes are the breeding of the Asiatic lion, a species endemic to India, and the Spix macaw, one of the world’s rarest birds, symbolising hope for global biodiversity recovery.

A Model for the World

The CITES commendation marks a milestone for India’s conservation journey, one that reflects not only adherence to international law but also an evolving national ethos of empathy and ecological responsibility

Vantara’s efforts embody the convergence of tradition and technology, where modern veterinary science, ethical governance, and spiritual commitment intersect to redefine what responsible wildlife care looks like in the 21st century.

As CITES acknowledged, India’s approach, exemplified through Vantara, sets a global benchmark for humane conservation, one that the world can look to as a model for safeguarding our shared natural heritage.

From pioneering CRM-integrated, digitalised recycling to empowering the community through education and engagement, IPC Shopping Centre continues to champion sustainability and mindful living through initiatives such as its Recycling & Buy-Back Centre (RBBC) team building programme and the new Bring Your Own Container (BYOC) reward initiative

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since 2009, IPC Shopping Centre has been among the early adopters of waste recycling and sorting initiatives in Malaysia. Through its Recycling & Buy-Back Centre (RBBC), the centre continues to embed sustainability into its retail operations, driving community awareness and responsible consumption in a practical, impactful way.

Over the years, IPC has remained a consistent driver in waste recycling — creating a cohesive recycling avenue that brings together tenants, shoppers, and trusted recycling partners. What began as a modest community recycling point has evolved into a fully digitalised recycling hub that champions education, engagement, and community empowerment through responsible waste management.

“At IPC, sustainability has always been part of our DNA,” said Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre. “Our goal has always been to make sustainable living part of everyday life. Through innovation, partnerships, and education, we’ve transformed sustainability into something tangible and rewarding. From the RBBC Team Building Programme to the new BYOC reward initiative, we’re empowering both our community and our tenants to take meaningful, consistent action towards better waste management and responsible recycling practices.”

Empowering Change through Community Education and Innovation

IPC’s sustainability strategy continues to evolve with initiatives designed to engage, educate, and reward sustainable behaviour.

Launched in 2024, the RBBC Team Building Programme transforms recycling into a hands-on learning experience through guided tours, workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions for schools, corporates and community groups. The curriculum has already engaged international schools, Alliance Bank and Decathlon Malaysia, aims to empower more Malaysians with the skills and motivation to recycle correctly and reduce waste both at home and at work.

Complementing this, the newly enhanced IPC app now features a recycling tracker which enables members to monitor their individual recycling progress – reinforcing accountability, awareness, and pride in their positive impact towards a greener planet.

Continuing its commitment to circular practices, IPC’s long-standing partnership with Arus Oil remains integral to its sustainability ecosystem. Through twice-monthly collections from tenants, members, and the public, recyclers receive RM2.50 cashback per kilogram of used cooking oil. This initiative diverts waste oil from drains and waterways, reducing pollution while promoting a circular economy.

New Initiative: “Bring Your Own Container (BYOC) Reward Programme”

In line with IPC’s mission to reduce single-use waste and echo Malaysia’s national sustainability direction, the shopping centre will introduce its latest green initiative – the “Bring Your Own Container (BYOC) Reward Programme.” With Malaysia ranked among the world’s top contributors of mismanaged plastic waste — where each person generates an estimated 2.4 kilograms of plastic waste every year¹, the programme reinforces IPC’s commitment to tackling this growing challenge. By encouraging shoppers to bring their own food containers or tumblers, IPC aims to make sustainable habits more accessible, practical, and rewarding for the community.

Starting from 24 November 2025, this initiative encourages Tack Club members to bring their own food containers or tumblers when ordering takeaways at participating F&B outlets. To enjoy the reward, members simply unlock the “BYOC Reward” in the IPC app using 5 Tack Points from the Rewards Catalogue and scan the outlet’s QR code at the checkout counter. A RM0.50 discount will then be instantly applied to the transaction, fully subsidised by IPC for all participating F&B tenants.

This initiative reinforces IPC’s “Lagom Life” philosophy where sustainability feels simple and accessible – transforming mindful choices into small, consistent actions that collectively make a big difference.

Educating, Inspiring, and Celebrating a Greener Community

As the year draws to a close, IPC continues to make sustainability both engaging and rewarding through initiatives that encourage mindful recycling habits. In anticipation of the festive season, when many households embark on annual spring-cleaning, IPC will once again reward shoppers with double Tack Points on selected waste types such as metal, aluminium, paper, and cardboard.

Beyond centre-led initiatives such as dedicated food waste cleaning stations for tenant staff, IPC also celebrates the proactive efforts of its tenants who share the same green commitment. For instance, All IT Hypermarket collects e-waste for proper recycling, H&M and Brands Outlet run in-store collection drives and rewards for pre-loved clothing, Books for a Better World gives second-hand books a new life through resale, while IKEA offers a mattress removal and recycling service for customers who purchase a new mattress, and its As-Is Corner gives pre-loved IKEA furniture a second life — allowing customers to pass on their used pieces and others to purchase them at discounted prices. Together, these efforts cultivate a culture of reuse and circularity within the centre.

“Sustainability is most effective when it becomes a shared effort,” added Karyn. “Our community of tenants, shoppers, and partners all play a role in this ecosystem. We’re proud to see how initiatives like the RBBC and our team building programme have inspired real action and built stronger, more conscious communities.”

Greening the Future Together

Looking ahead, IPC aims to expand its sustainability ecosystem by partnering with more organisations and exploring new methods for waste processing and resource recovery. The centre will also continue taking proactive steps to educate and inspire its community to embrace waste recycling as a natural part of everyday life — reinforcing sustainability education as a cornerstone of IPC’s identity and commitment to responsible waste management.

Under its Green Building Management practices, IPC continues to conserve energy, water, and natural resources through initiatives such as solar PV panels (currently undergoing expansion), LED lighting systems, rainwater harvesting, and the use of eco-friendly and food-grade cleaning agents that enhances both energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

As Malaysia’s retail industry moves towards greater sustainability, IPC Shopping Centre stands ready to lead by example – transforming what was once a compliance requirement into a collective movement that benefits both people and the planet.

Gross Margin Rose to 8.5% through High-Tech Products Mix and Cost Efficiencies

BEIJING, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Datasea Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSS) (“Datasea” or the “Company”), a Nevada-based high-tech enterprise engaged in acoustic technologies and AI multimodal digitalization, today announces its unaudited financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights

• Revenue: $13.81 million as compared to $21.08 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 34.5%, due to the Company’s strategic optimization of its high technology business and a reduction of its low margin operations.
• Gross Profit: $1.17 million as compared to $0.02 million, an increase of 5.9x as compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting cost rationalization and operational efficiencies, and a strategic focus on bottom line profitability, driven by high-tech product expansion.
• Gross Margin: 8.46% as compared to 0.93% for the first quarter of 2025, an improvement of 753 basis points, attributable to a higher contribution from high-margin 5G+AI multimodal digital solutions and acoustic technology products.

Management Commentary

Ms. Zhixin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Datasea, commented, “The first quarter of fiscal 2026 marks a strategic transition for Datasea as we pivot from scale expansion to profitability optimization. Our revenue decreased due to our plan to deliberately restructure our revenue mix toward technology-driven, high value-added businesses, and implement a reduction in standardized low margin 5G AI multimodal top up services. As a result, our gross margin rose sharply to 8.46%, reflecting the success of this structural transformation and the growing contribution from our high-margin AI multimodal and acoustic technology solutions. For example, during the quarter, Shuhai Beijing provided customized 5G+AI multimodal digital services for Yuxiang Zhiyang (Tianjin) Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. and several other clients, focusing on Douyin live-streaming and smart home marketing scenarios, generating total revenue of approximately RMB 6.53 million (around USD0.92 million). Such high-margin, technology-driven solutions have proven the effectiveness of our strategic shift and further enhanced overall profitability.”

“The phased decline in revenue is a purposeful and tactical choice that during our optimization process, signals a shift from pursuing scale to emphasizing value creation and sustainable profitability. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to strengthen cost controls and operational efficiency while focusing on technology-driven, high-quality growth. Datasea will advance its ‘dual-engine strategy’, leveraging both 5G+AI multimodal digitalization and acoustic high-tech innovations to enhance profitability and advance our market leadership.”              

Operational Highlights

1. 5G+AI Multimodal Digital Business

• The core revenue driver, contributing $13.32 million during the quarter.
• Benefited from China’s rapidly expanding 5G+AI multimodal industry, where Datasea continues to hold a leading position.
• Customer base continued to grow, supporting stable business performance and recurring revenue.
• New vertical solutions achieved revenue realization of RMB 6.53 million ($0.92 million), including:
• AI multimodal services for SMEs
• AI multimodal digital rural services
• AI multimodal new media marketing services
• These high-margin solutions have significantly elevated the Company’s overall profitability and confirmed the scalability of its multimodal digitalization business model.

2. Acoustic High-Tech Segment

• Continued R&D progress in ‘Acoustics + AI + Neuro-Regulation’, focusing on applications in non-invasive health management and acoustic intelligent wearables.
• Expanded retail and cooperative presence in Medical, healthcare, and industrial scenarios, with the product line shifting from single hardware devices to integrated acoustic solution systems.

Business Outlook

Looking ahead, Datasea will continue to:

• The 5G+AI multimodal digital segment: The Company will further upgrade its proprietary AI multimodal platform, expand high-margin customized solutions and SaaS-based subscription services, and drive deeper penetration across SME digitalization, new media marketing, and digital rural development to generate more stable and recurring cash flows.
• The acoustic high-tech segment: The Company will accelerate R&D in ‘Acoustics + AI + Neuro-Regulation’, promoting the integration of low-intensity focused ultrasound and brain-computer interface technologies to establish a ‘Detection–Analysis–Intervention” closed-loop system. The Company will prioritize applications in healthcare, beauty, and intelligent wearable devices, creating new growth opportunities in non-pharmacological health management.

With continuous innovation and the synergistic development of its two core businesses, Datasea aims to achieve sustainable profitability, enhance its gross margin profile, and solidify its position as a competitive global player in high-tech innovation.

/PRNewswire/ — Big Horn Outdoors®, the ultimate solution provider for pizza baking, grilling, and outdoor cooking, today announced the launch of the Big Horn Prime® 16-inch Gas Pizza Oven, a revolutionary addition to its expanding portfolio of high-performance cooking systems. Engineered for those who crave restaurant-quality results without the hassle of babysitting the oven, the new product turns any patio, balcony, or campsite into a do-it-all outdoor kitchen, making it the perfect choice for food lovers with limited space but unlimited ambition.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — While many are still waiting for Black Friday, NAIPO is already making waves with some of the year’s hottest family-wellness deals during Walmart’s AE1 Event (November 13–16). From $20 pickleball paddles to a 10-foot climbing dome that’s sure to make your backyard the neighborhood highlight, this lineup is designed for the modern, active, and wellness-focused family.

NAIPO, long known for its massage and recovery devices, is now stepping into the broader arena of family fitness, outdoor play and healthy living. The nine featured items—ranging from kids’ bicycles and playground-style climbing domes to golf sets, pickleball paddles and a compact under-desk elliptical—mirror two major lifestyle currents: families reclaiming time together, and consumers prioritising wellness, sustainability and meaning in everyday living.

Why now? U.S. consumers are increasingly placing health, connection and value at the forefront of their purchases. Studies show families are spending more on experiences, outdoor movement, home-based wellness and sustainable-minded purchases. NAIPO’s new offerings align perfectly with those trends: bringing movement (cycling, climbing, playing), home-based fitness (the under-desk elliptical), value discounts, and family-togetherness.

“NAIPO has always believed wellness begins at home,” said a NAIPO spokesperson.

“This November, we’re proud to offer products that encourage family movement, learning and togetherness—at accessible prices during Walmart’s AE1 and extended Deals events.”

“Parents are tired of overpriced toys that break in a week… We’re blowing the doors off with pro-level quality at prices that make grandparents cry happy tears.”

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The ‘Seoul Design Award 2025,’ hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Design Foundation, was successfully held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) on October 24. Now in its sixth year, the Seoul Design Award is the world’s only international design award specializing in social impact. The award highlights practical design solutions addressing various challenges faced by humanity in the quest for sustainable living such as the climate crisis, social inequality, and environmental destruction. The award ceremony recognized outstanding projects this year and was held as a global design award opening the door to a sustainable future.

• Four Major Themes Towards Sustainability

The Seoul Design Award is well-known for selecting designs that promote sustainable life for people and communities, rather than focusing solely on shape or technology.

This year, based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the competition focused on four themes: Health and Peace, Equal Opportunities (Universal Design), Energy and Environment (Upcycling Design), and Cities and Communities. Approximately 1,000 projects from 74 countries worldwide competed from March to June.

• Global Judging Combining Expertise and Fairness Drove Participation

This year’s panel of juries was composed of 32 global design experts from 21 countries as well as design leaders from across diverse fields. Strictly abiding by principles of fairness, the juries selected a total of 60 award-winning projects (from approximately 30 countries).

Notably, the award was further distinguished as the world’s only ‘participatory design award’ through the participation of global citizens who voted for the Grand Prize.

Top 10 awardees from 10 countries were invited to Seoul for the ‘Top 10 Live Competition,’ where they presented their projects in person to compete for the Grand Prize.

Over 5,500 global citizens from 48 countries participated in the online voting to help select the Grand Prize winner from among 10 projects. This online voting and the in-person selection on-site by the panel of 12 international jury members helped determine the Grand Prize Winner.

During the award ceremony, awardees received trophies, certificates, prize money totaling KRW 150 million, as well as networking opportunities with designers and international experts in the field of sustainability.

• Grand Prize Winner: ‘Jaza Energy Hubs’ — Design Working to Solve Energy Inequality

This year’s Grand Prize was awarded to Nonfiction Design (USA–Nigeria)’s ‘Jaza Energy Hubs.’

This project is an innovative model that addresses energy inequality in rural Nigeria by establishing solar power hubs and a rechargeable battery sharing system.

Notably, it created local self-reliance and economic opportunities through a system where women operators manage the hubs.

“Design is not about technology; it is a process of building dignity and self-reliance.
It is deeply meaningful that the Seoul Design Award precisely understood and recognized this value.”
— Mardis Bagley, Nonfiction Design

• The New Standard in ‘Sustainable Design’ That Captured the World’s Attention

This year’s juries emphasized that “sustainability is not an ideal for the future, but a practice that must be implemented immediately.”

Ezio Manzini, President of the DESIS Network, an expert in solving social problems through design, stated, “Problem-solving begins not with external technology, but through a relational process where local residents take the lead.” He thus identified ‘relational design’ as the keyword of this year’s winning projects.

Andrea Cancellato, Director of the ADI Design Museum in Milan and an expert in Italian design museum operations, assessed, “The Seoul Design Award commemorates ‘design in action’ and has firmly demonstrated its practical value on the international stage.”

Martin Zelger, CEO of DAAily Platforms which operates renowned design media like Designboom, added, “This year’s projects demonstrated a power that transcends mere aesthetic perfection, driving empathy and social transformation, proving that the sincerity of design surpasses human values.”

The nine awardees participating in the Top10 Competition are:

• From Finland: ‘Alusta Pavilion,’ a multi-species ecological pavilion where humans, plants, and animals coexist,
• From Italy: Anako’s ‘Emergency Folding Cradle,’ an emergency cradle for vulnerable groups like mothers and children in crisis situations,
• From Australia: ‘Crafted Liberation,’ a project restoring women’s rights to public spaces through chairs upcycled from hijabs,
• From China: ‘Desert Ark,’ a sustainable 3D-printed housing experiment for desert cities,
• From India: ‘Golden Feathers,’ a circular project upcycling feather waste into natural wool fibers,
• From South Korea: ‘LADIS_LAmp DISinfection’, a portable drinking water sterilizer reducing disease in diverse environments,
• From Denmark: ‘Soft Solids Lighting,’ a sustainable lighting design project reducing waste through upcycled products,
• From Taiwan: ‘The Borrowing Project,’ a modular standard building material borrowing system practicing resource circulation,
• From Mexico: ‘The City of Indigenous Arts,’ a cultural city integration and regeneration project reborn as an exhibition ecosystem showcasing community heritage and art,

The two Concept Award winners are:

• ‘Bark-Code’ from the UK and South Korea, a 3D bark scanner providing growth and carbon sequestration data,
• ‘Blue Garden’ from Italy, a modular coastal installation utilizing discarded seashells.

All award-winning projects share a common emphasis: not only technology but relationships, not only the environment but coexistence, not only cities but communities.

• 2026, ‘Design in Action for a Sustainable Future’

Oh Hwan Jong, a TOP 10 Awardee, deeply resonated with the award’s role and values, stating, “Design is not merely about creating beauty; it is about protecting human dignity and life. The Seoul Design Award was an opportunity to have that authenticity recognized and shared with the world, and I want to challenge myself again.”

Cha Kang Heui, CEO of the Seoul Design Foundation, stated, “The Seoul Design Award will continue to evolve as a platform to spread global design practices for sustainable living. We hope more designers will join us in building a sustainable future through the stage the award provides.”

The 2026 Seoul Design Award will begin its seventh journey in March, reaffirming its position as a global hub for sustainable design. Any designer involved in a sustainable project can apply, regardless of whether they are affiliated with a company or are an individual. Any designer can aim for the honor of winning the Grand Prize at the award ceremony in October.
