DIMO Nature Club organized a field visit to DIMO’s flagship biodiversity conservation project at Lunugamvehera National Park, providing members with an opportunity to learn more about the importance of ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation.

Demonstrating its commitment to protecting Sri Lanka’s natural heritage, DIMO partnered with Biodiversity Sri Lanka (BSL) and the Federation of Environmental Organisations (FEO) to implement an invasive flora removal project covering 15 hectares at Lunugamvehera National Park. Initiated in 2024, the project is implemented with the support of the Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC), while also creating socio-economic benefits for the surrounding communities.

The field visit was attended by DIMO’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Gahanath Pandithage, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Suresh Gooneratne, alongside members of the DIMO Nature Club.

Participants had the opportunity to gain valuable insights from Professor Enoka Kudavidanage on the park’s biodiversity and the project's conservation efforts. Representatives from BSL and FEO also shared insights into the challenges associated with ecosystem restoration and the impacts of climate change, drawing on their research and findings.

Through initiatives such as these, DIMO continues to strengthen its commitment to biodiversity conservation, environmental sustainability, and protecting natural ecosystems for future generations.
