Abans, the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society, and the Department of Wildlife Conservation, collaborated to launch the landmark Green Isle Project at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Dehiwala on 7th August 2019. 

The day-long launch was held under the auspices of LG Electronics Dignitaries including Product Director Mr. Terry Kim, Ms. Sol Lee, and Mr. Brian Kwak. Abans’ Senior Management such as Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Sriyan de Silva Wijeyeratne, Deputy Director Mr. Buddhika Dharmawardena, and Head of Home Appliance Products Mr. Ruwan Gunasekara attended the event. WNPS Dignitary Professor Lakdas Fernando and Secretary to the Ministry of Tourism Development, Wildlife, and Christian Religious Affairs Mr. Siri Hettiarachchi were also in attendance. 

This project will involve habitat enrichment via a massive tree replanting scheme of over 30, 000 trees, enabling the gradual replacement of invasive plant species, the revitalization of small canals, as well as the clearing out of weeds and other debris. A 3.5 Km Nature Trail will also be developed to enable wildlife enthusiasts, researchers, educators, and school children to observe and study Attidiya’s native species from a safe distance.
