DP Education Program Launches a Project to Replant Threatened Endemic Plant Species in Sri Lanka

Date:

The DP Education Program has started a project to replant 625 endemic plant species that are threatened with extinction out of the 863 plant species endemic to Sri Lanka.

The aim of this is to remove those plant species from the red data report by planting 10 million plants out of the 625 plant species concerned.

Accordingly, this project was started recently at Galle Meth Bo Sewana Nalanda Reserve, with the participation of DP Education Founder, Member of Parliament Dhammika Perera.

Dhammika Perera started the project by planting a rare Kalumadiriya plant and said, “People should be technologically advanced: similarly, nature should be nurtured and protected. A beautiful world can be seen when both those sectors are balanced and nourished,”
