Reforestation

The Otara Foundation collaborates with its accredited partners to promote large and medium-scale reforestation projects in Sri Lanka

In addition, because it is the Foundation’s mandate that every life matters and every little effort is a step in the right direction, we support and promote smaller individual initiatives in reforestation and replanting.  These include:
