Around the world the prick massive deforestation had made a massive drop in the forest covers. The effects of this forest losses are affecting the earth in a fundamental way to all living beings. Global warming, emission of greenhouse gasses, changes in usual weather patterns and various kinds of pollution opting to various effects just starts off the list.

In Sri Lanka alone the deforestation is of a countable scale. The island had a 49 percent forest cover but by 2005 this had fallen by approximately 26 percent. Between 1990 and 2000, Sri Lanka lost an average of 26,800 ha of forests per year. This amounts to an average annual deforestation rate of 1.14%. Between 2000 and 2005 the rate accelerated to 1.43% per annum. However, with a long history of policy and laws towards environmental protection, deforestation rates of primary cover have actually decreased 35% since the end of the 1990s thanks to a strong history of conservation measures. The problem of deforestation in Sri Lanka is not as significant in the southern mountainous regions as it is in northern and lowland southern Sri Lanka, largely due to the nature of environmental protection.

As the statistics may suggest the loss of forest cover is an illuminating issue in the country as well as around the world. This should be taken measures at step by step stage little by little. Tripavi has identified this growing necessity to act out. As a measure we are setting ourselves out in to planting forest growth trees wherever possible as the chances we get. A step of this was done at our inspection tour to Yala last month.

All Tripavi staff members planted a tree that will account to the regrowth of forest replanting once they are peeking good to touch the skies. As it comes to the future these growing investments will give never ending rewards to all living beings dwelling earth. With a proud heart of doing our part for conservation we take a pledge in continuing to do so until it is being made a trend around Sri Lanka.
