Initiated in 2018 by Dilmah Founder, Merrill J. Fernando, ‘The Endana Nature Corridor Project’ aims to create a seamless migration path for endemic species of plants and trees between the fragmented Iharakanda and Walankanda Forest reserves. This remarkable project is one of the most effective ways to link habitats, resulting in several environmental benefits such as ecological restoration and increased biodiversity.
The success of the ‘Endana Nature Corridor Project’ has made it a model for future large-scale nature corridors. Its accomplishments, which include uprooting tea plants that divided the two forests to incorporating livelihood upliftment programs to encourage the sustainable use of forest resources, have been instrumental in achieving this status.
The ‘Endana Nature Corridor Project’ is a testament to our vision to showcase exemplary approaches to conserving nature and promoting ethical practices within the tea industry.
