Sri Lanka Volunteering

2024

The Marine & Wildlife Conservation program collaborates with the Sri Lankan Environmental Department and local NGOs to develop sustainable initiatives. The long-term goal is to regenerate key rainforest areas and preserve coral reefs and marine life in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province.

Through a range of hands-on projects, I actively engaged in environmental conservation. This included the restoration of sea turtle populations, replanting native trees, and constructing artificial nests for tree frogs

 

  • The charity has had a part in releasing 37,000 Turtle Hatchlings into the ocean. These releases are public and include members of the local community - educating the children in these communities about conservation.

  • They have also collected over 36 tonnes of debris from the beaches of Sri Lanka. Plastic pollution is a global issue so working closely with local government and wildlife experts helps to secure the future of both flora & fauna in Sri Lanka.

  • The agriculture project has provided countless families with fresh fruit and vegetables. This project incorporates the local school, so children can see the importance of self-sufficiency.
