In May 2000, Visteon built a wildlife reserve south of the facility to protect
native plant and animal species.  The habitat houses trees from the region,
such as mezquites, ebony trees, white stick and huisaches, as well as animals
such as magpies, pigeons, swallows, butterflies, hummingbirds, turtles, skunks
and opossums.

The WHC is a nonprofit, non-lobbying group of corporations, conservation
organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting and enhancing wildlife
habitats.  Created in 1988, WHC helps companies manage their land in an
ecologically sensitive manner for the benefit of wildlife.  Being re-certified
by the WHC council confirms that Visteon Carplastic has fulfilled WHC worldwide
standards, as developed by expert biologists on environmental care.
