Protecting natural habitats
Through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Western Big Game Migration Program, we invested in projects in the American West that are vital for preserving the migration corridors of endangered and at-risk species, including mountain lions, grizzly bears, and Canada lynx.
Improving biodiversity
As part of our Redmond campus modernization project, we’re including protections for local ecosystems such as green roofs, open space restoration, and heat island reduction. This is also the first Microsoft location in our portfolio to be certified Salmon Safe.
Monitoring ecosystems
We deployed our first on-campus Microsoft Premonition device to pilot ecological monitoring. Premonition is a biological weather station that lures, monitors, and samples invertebrate species to easily track ecosystem services, biodiversity, and disease transmission. This will allow us to measure the impact of ecological enhancement efforts over time.
