Jackery Reaffirms Commitment to Earth Protection, Looks to Continue Partnership with WWF in 2024

FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the world ushers in a new year, Jackery, a global leader of innovative portable power and green energy solutions, has underscored its commitment to delivering clean and sustainable energy solutions, and going beyond, looks to continue its conservation partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2024.

 

“The importance of clean and sustainable energy for the planet has gained global consensus, as evident from the recent COP28 where, for the first time, an agreement that calls on all nations to transition away from fossil fuels to avert the worst effects of climate change was reached, which indicates a burgeoning global consensus regarding the significance of clean, sustainable energy for our planet,” said Tracy Wang, who is responsible for Jackery Global Brand Marketing. “This is exactly what Jackery has been focusing on, offering clean, sustainable power solutions.” 

Jackery has been at the forefront of promoting clean energy alternatives, and has shown a dedication to supporting innovation in conservation efforts contributing to biodiversity protection. In June of 2023, Jackery announced a partnership with WWF, striving to support scientists and conservationists in their efforts to detect, track and protect endangered black-footed ferrets in their natural habitats.

Currently, the estimated population of black-footed ferrets in the wild stands at approximately 390, a figure significantly lower than the 3,000 needed for their recovery. To devise efficient conservation strategies, annual evaluations are conducted. These assessments not only measure the size and safeguard the health of the existing ferret populations, but also monitor their movements and mitigation of non-native disease.

Ferrets are difficult to detect in the wild because they are nocturnal and live below ground in burrows where prairie dogs live – their main prey. To improve detection of this elusive, rare species, WWF and partners are using thermal cameras mounted to drones and towers. “However, the power solutions for these thermal camera systems are challenging,” said Kristy Bly, Black-footed Ferret Restoration Manager, World Wildlife Fund.

Traditional power solutions like gas-powered generators are noisy, harmful to the environment, and sometimes frighten black-footed ferrets into hiding in burrows, making it harder to find and protect them from deadly disease. Jackery’s portable solar panels and generators offer a solution to these issues. “These new solutions enable us to protect this endangered species in non-disruptive and sustainable ways,” said Kristy.

In addition to supporting WWF in its endangered species conservation initiatives, Jackery has also taken action to support Earth’s forests. It has collaborated with the National Forest Foundation to plant 10,000 trees across the United States. Furthermore, it contributed donations in Germany to ensure the permanent preservation of 10 square kilometers of forestland. The company also engaged in a tree-planting initiative in Japan, reinforcing its commitment to environmental conservation.

Looking ahead to 2024, Jackery aims to continue its collaboration with WWF and take proactive measures to protect the natural environment and biodiversity. By strengthening its partnership with WWF, Jackery seeks to amplify its positive impact on the environment. The company’s dedication to this cause is deeply rooted in the belief that clean and sustainable energy is not just a necessity, but a responsibility. In a world with ever-growing energy demands, Jackery’s dedication to solar energy solutions becomes increasingly significant. Much like explorers are motivated by curiosity and the urge to comprehend the world better, Jackery is propelled by the ambition to pioneer and innovate in the sustainable energy sector.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
