Conclusion      

Thus, despite government funding, private clothing brands are also putting in efforts to safeguard nature. The federal funds dedicated to supporting national parks are not enough, and private fund influx infers exploitation of the resources. Hence, such organizations have stepped up for the sole purpose of making a difference and protecting nature.
