HNB Assurance continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and community empowerment through an expanded partnership with Biodiversity Sri Lanka, who, together with the Federation of Environmental Organizations (FEO), works to create safer habitats for elephants, reduce human-elephant conflict, and provide meaningful employment opportunities for local communities. This initiative reflects HNB Assurance’s dedication to fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife while supporting rural livelihoods. By restoring natural ecosystems, the program not only safeguards endangered species but also uplifts families through sustainable income generation. Building on the 30 hectares of land already restored, the latest phase of this project adds another 15 hectares, reinforcing the organization’s long-term vision for environmental stewardship and social impact. These efforts aim to reduce human-elephant conflict, protect biodiversity, and create a positive ripple effect across communities that depend on these ecosystems. Through this collaboration, HNB Assurance demonstrates that conservation is not just about protecting nature—it is about creating harmony between wildlife and people. Together with its partners, the company is making a lasting difference for the environment and future generations.

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.
