Assetline Finance Limited (AFL) has taken another step in its commitment to environmental sustainability and social welfare with a new initiative at Kaudulla National Park, contributing to biodiversity conservation and climate resilience while supporting the efforts of the Department of Wildlife Conservation.
The project involved the installation of hoardings of various sizes, featuring vital messages on environmental conservation to educate visitors about the importance of preserving wildlife and local flora and fauna.
AFL also donated high-quality jackets to park officers, equipping them to perform their duties effectively in various weather conditions. These efforts aim to enhance on-the-ground conservation and strengthen the protection of natural ecosystems.
During a ceremony at the park entrance, the hoardings and jackets were officially handed over to Kaudulla National Park Warden Piyal Kumara by AFL’s Chief Operating Officer, Mahesh De Silva.
De Silva reaffirmed AFL’s dedication to sustainability and emphasised the importance of collaborative efforts in preserving the environment for future generations.
The project aligns with AFL’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, prioritising sustainable ecosystem management, climate resilience, and community involvement. The jackets provided to park officers enhance their ability to patrol effectively, protecting wildlife from threats such as poaching and illegal logging. This ensures the long-term health of the park’s ecosystems while supporting biodiversity.
The educational hoardings are a key component of the project, raising awareness among visitors and encouraging responsible tourism.
