In Sri Lanka's far north, Mannar feels worlds away from the island's tourist trails. Hardly visited, this fishing town holds centuries of maritime history, once a hub on Indian Ocean trade routes. Its lagoons and seagrass beds host flamingos and flocks of migratory birds, while traditional fishing methods still tie people directly to the sea. It's remote, cultural, and raw—a place where the past and present live side by side.
A grant-making organization that channels resources into grassroots conservation initiatives across Sri Lanka. Their work spans reforestation of degraded landscapes, marine habitat restoration, and wildlife protection, all while strengthening the capacity of local conservation leaders to address biodiversity loss.
