Brown Roots Project

In celebration of World Environment Day on June 5th, 2017, we proudly introduced the ‘Brown Roots’ Project in partnership with Browns Tours, a pioneering initiative dedicated to environmental conservation and reforestation. This project embodies our deep commitment to preserving the natural splendour of Sri Lanka, aligning with the efforts of the Sri Lanka Forest Reserves and other esteemed environmental organisations.

Our mission is grounded in a profound respect for nature and a desire to safeguard the island’s ecological heritage for future generations. To this end, we have made a significant pledge: for every traveller who journeys with us, we plant a tree. Since the project’s inception, this initiative has successfully resulted in the planting of over 3,000 trees in Sri Lanka’s central province by the close of 2018.

The ‘Brown Roots’ Project reflects our unwavering dedication to nurturing the environment and enhancing the natural beauty that defines our island home. With continued support from our travellers and partners, we are resolute in our goal to expand this number, fostering a legacy of ecological preservation.

We invite you to join us  in this noble endeavour, contributing to the restoration and enrichment of our natural landscapes. Together, let us cultivate the roots of nature’s magnificence and ensure that Sri Lanka’s verdant legacy thrives for generations to come.

Zero Plastic Project

The “Zero Plastic Project” by Ceylon Roots is a pioneering effort in sustainable tourism within Sri Lanka’s tourism industry. As a leading Destination Management Company, Ceylon Roots is committed to reducing plastic waste and preserving the island’s natural beauty. Central to the Zero Plastic Project is a comprehensive collaboration with local communities and authorities. The initiative focuses on the collection and recycling of plastic waste from various sources, including tourist hotspots and local areas. This waste is then directed to advanced recycling facilities where it is processed into reusable materials, thereby supporting a circular economy. By transforming plastic waste into valuable resources, the project not only reduces environmental impact but also fosters a sustainable waste management system. The project is poised to make a lasting positive impact on both the environment and Sri Lanka’s tourism sector, reinforcing Ceylon Roots’ dedication to sustainability.

By channeling collected plastics to recycling plants, the project ensures that waste is transformed into reusable materials, contributing to a circular economy. As part of Ceylon Roots’ broader commitment to responsible tourism, the Zero Plastic Project is expected to have a long-term positive impact on the tourism industry and the environment. The initiative embodies the company’s dedication to sustainability, aiming to make Sri Lanka a leader in eco-friendly practices within the region.

The project will consist of ongoing efforts to educate and create awareness around the plastic problem and how it plagues our oceans, our environments, our ecosystems as well as humankind – both in the immediate and long-run. The project aims to conduct beach clean ups bringing together community members, as well as conducting awareness programs at schools and education institutions both urban and rural, as well as by creating ongoing awareness platforms amongst the masses in Sri Lanka.
