Federation of Environmental Organizations (FEO) Sri Lanka

About us

In 2012, it was realised, as per the prevalent information of the time, that there were over 600 conservation / environmental groups registered for, and located throughout, the country. Apart from the major groups in Colombo, few knew what the other did, and this lack of cohesion was often used to disrupt conservation initiatives.

In addition, many of the organisations outside of Colombo lacked the necessary resources, financial and technical, to fund and drive their programmes / campaigns.

Most importantly, there were, and continue to be, too many crises in conservation and environmental protection for one organisation to address on its own.  It now needed the resources and expertise of a number of groups, working in partnership, to try and prevent the further destruction of the natural world.
