Our lifetime dedication is to make it easy to go green — protecting and conserving Sri Lanka's wildlife and its habitats, particularly for endangered species. Sri Lanka ranks among the world's top 8 biodiversity hotspots, home to over 91 endemic bird species and thousands of unique flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth.
WildREACH Environmental Trust leads, facilitates and encourages communities to conserve natural habitats, flora, fauna and biodiversity through research, rescue, education and direct action.
A global initiative to protect native flora, eliminate invasive exotic plants and restore natural landscapes island-wide.

Sri Lanka hosts over 245 butterfly species, 116 reptile species, and thousands of endemic plants. WildREACH documents and protects them all.
Over 116 species inhabit Sri Lanka's wet and dry zones, with nearly half being endemic. WildREACH documents population trends, habitat needs and threats to these extraordinary creatures.
Explore species
Sri Lanka records over 245 butterfly species — 26 endemic. As key ecosystem indicators, WildREACH monitors butterfly populations, host plants and the impact of habitat change.
Discover butterflies
WildREACH guides responsible eco-tourists through Yala, Wilpattu, Sinharaja and Horton Plains — sharing deep ecological knowledge while directly funding conservation work on the ground.
