The decision to join Biodiversity Sri Lanka (BSL) in 2023 was guided by the company’s environmental protection pillar, one of three under its sustainability and CSR framework. The project began with the restoration of 15 hectares in 2023, which was expanded to 30 hectares in 2024 and is set to continue in the years ahead. By funding clearance and maintenance, HNB Assurance helps restore native vegetation, improve habitats and reduce the human elephant conflict by ensuring wildlife can feed within their natural grounds. Unlike many short lived conservation projects, this initiative is built for longterm resilience. The project uses manual uprooting, multiple maintenance cycles and close monitoring to ensure lasting impact. It also integrates local community participation, creating livelihoods while instilling shared responsibility for conservation. The project has already produced tangible ecological outcomes. Thirty hectares have been restored with native grasses and shrubs regenerating to provide food for elephants, deer and wild boar. Predator species such as jackals and leopards have also returned – a sign of ecosystems regaining balance.
