The Hemas team along with WNPS, will be instrumental in promoting the participation of local communities in mangrove conservation by conducting awareness sessions. This long-term project comes in to fruition in the backdrop of over 50% of Sri Lanka’s mangrove forests being destroyed during the past 30 years. Anawilundawa wetland stretches across 1,397 hectares and is one of Sri Lanka’s six designated wetlands by Ramsar convention. Sri Lanka’s ecological resources are declining exponentially for some period and it is high time that we take necessary action before they slip away from our control. The criticality of our mangrove cover has driven mangrove conservation to the top in the committee’s agenda.”Hemas Consumer, is a leading manufacturer in Sri Lanka’s Home and Personal Care sector.
