Conservation is urgent, complex, and often underfunded. At TERN, every rupee and resource we receive is directed toward one purpose: protecting biodiversity and fostering coexistence between people and wildlife in Sri Lanka. From restoring degraded forests to mitigating human–elephant conflict, from training young conservationists to equipping rangers with field tools, your contribution becomes a lifeline for both people and nature.
Sri Lanka is one of the world’s 36 biodiversity hotspots, yet it is under severe pressure from habitat loss, unplanned development, and human–wildlife conflict. Addressing these challenges requires reliable, long-term investment. That is why your support is so critical together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for resilience, coexistence, and hope.
General Conservation Fund
Help us strengthen TERN’s overall mission. Donations to our core fund allow us to act quickly when urgent conservation needs arise, sustain ongoing research, and ensure long-term impact across our programs.
Support a Specific Cause
Choose a conservation challenge close to your heart. Whether it’s human–elephant conflict mitigation, forest restoration, or conservation education for youth, your donation will directly fund targeted solutions such as research, awareness campaigns, and support for affected communities.
Fund an Ongoing Project
Support one of TERN’s active projects—like the CARE Base Station, the Suduweli Ara Forest Restoration Program, or our work in tea landscapes with Dilmah Conservation. Your contribution ensures these projects continue to thrive and expand.
Collaborate with Us
Organizations and individuals are welcome to propose collaborative projects where we can contribute expertise, networks, and ground-level implementation capacity. Together, we can co-create initiatives that protect biodiversity while uplifting communities.
In-Kind Contributions
Support doesn’t have to be financial. Donations of research equipment, field gear, software tools, or training resources play a vital role in sustaining our work. These practical contributions reduce project costs and strengthen our capacity on the ground.
No matter the size, every contribution makes a difference.
We are committed to the highest standards of accountability. Donors will receive regular updates on how their support is used, with opportunities to see the impact firsthand through stories, reports, and media.
Together, we can safeguard Sri Lanka’s biodiversity and create a future where people and wildlife thrive side by side.
